Conditions

Long list of Live Update installations

Workaround

1) Increase memory assigned to the Linux host: (value dependant on platform) # tmsh modify sys db provision.extramb value 1000 2) Allow restjavad to access the extra memory: # tmsh modify sys db restjavad.useextramb value true 3) Save the config: # tmsh save sys config 4) The re-provisioning will trigger a restart of the services. Wait until the unit is online again. 5) Increase the restjavad maxMessageBodySize property: # curl -s -f -u admin: -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"maxMessageBodySize":134217728}' -X POST http://localhost:8100/mgmt/shared/server/messaging/settings/8100 | jq . { "maxMessageBodySize": 134217728, "localhostRestnodedConnectionLimit": 8, "defaultEventHandlerTimeoutInSeconds": 60, "minEventHandlerTimeoutInSeconds": 15, "maxEventHandlerTimeoutInSeconds": 60, "maxActiveLoginTokensPerUser": 100, "generation": 6, "lastUpdateMicros": 1558012004824502, "kind": "shared:server:messaging:settings:8100:restservermessagingpoststate", "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/shared/server/messaging/settings/8100" } Ensure the command returns output showing the limit has been increased (as shown above). 6) Reboot the unit.
