Resolution
The calculations used to determine these values are in the startup file /etc/init.d/aveksa_server under the heading: # compute JAVA_OPTS based on total system memory..
RSA does not recommend modifying these settings but if they need to be modified, look for the following section in the /etc/init.d/aveksa_server file that tells you what to be aware of and how to make the changes.
# If memory values need to be increased above these levels set them as needed# Ensure any database needs for memory are not effected
# Uncomment out the line below with the necessary values.
# It is recommended to set Xms = Xmx
#JAVA_OPTS=""-Xms8192m -Xmx8192m -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m"
Please also keep in mind that increasing the heap size above 32 GB as mentioned above will likely decrease performance.
