To Increase the Critical Threshold for the Virtual Size Data Property in the Topology Manager

The Topology manager enables the main console window to present logical objects in a topology view. The Topology manager also provides the ability to create a logical object, such as a group, whose status summarizes the statuses of multiple managed objects.

Managed objects include networks, hosts, hardware components, and software components. The total number of objects and the contents of these objects determine the system resource requirement, for example, Virtual Size, for the Topology manager. This requirement must be less than the defaults set for the Topology manager.

If the Virtual Size of the Topology manager exceeds the default value, then the Topology manager exits with the following error message:

error excessive virtual memory use

To solve this error, increase the default virtual size as described in the following steps.

1. Evaluate the situation carefully.

2. Create the Topology manager monitored object.
