Running the vFoglight Management Server 85

Running the vFoglight Management Server FAQ

When I try to start the vFoglight Management Server using Remote Desktop, an error

appears. How can I resolve this error?

There are two options to resolve this problem.

• Use VMWARE Console to start the server.

• Change the JVM options by reducing the memory requirements of the vFoglight

Management Server so you can start it using Remote Desktop. To do so, use one

of the following methods:

• On the command line, enter the following:

fms.exe -j -XX:MaxPermSize=96m

• Edit the foglight.config file found in <vfoglight_home>\config and modify the

following parameter:

foglight.vm.option0 = "-XX:MaxPermSize=96m";

After you have used one of these methods, restart the server.

If I close the vFoglight Management Server by clicking the X button on the command

window, an error appears when I start up the server again. How do I restart the server?

It is recommended that you do not use this method to stop the vFoglight Management

Server. However, if you do use this method, follow the workaround listed below.

If you are using a managed database (for example, a copy of MySQL that is

started by vFoglight), stop the database manually before restarting the vFoglight

Management Server.

Remove the stale .pid file that is located in the \state directory. The logs or the

console output inform you which .pid file to remove when you restart the server.
