Application Server or Web Server crashes under a heavy load

The problem is known to occur when using Sun Fire T1000/T2000 hardware (cool threads, Niagara boxes) to deploy Access Manager server with Sun Java System Application Server or Sun Java System Web Server.

Solution: Set the appropriate memory library the Application Server asenv.conf file or in the Web Server start script. For Application Server, in the asenv.conf file, replace LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libmtmalloc.so with LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libumem.so. For more information, see http://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/tnb/applications_sunone.jsp.

For Web Server in the start script, replace LIBMTMALLOC=/usr/lib/libmtmalloc.so with LIBMTMALLOC=/usr/lib/libumem.so..

Use the latest JDK 1.5 version, at least 1.5.0_08 or later when Sun Fire T1000/T2000 boxes are used for Access Manager server deployments.
