Changing RAM
Optimizing vScope’s performance might require updating the RAM allocation settings. The initial RAM setting is configured during installation, and it determines the amount of system RAM vScope is permitted to use. Allocating additional RAM can enhance performance, but ensure you leave sufficient RAM for other system processes. Never allocate all available system RAM to vScope.
RAM for Optimal Performance
| Total Server RAM | vScope Allocation |
|---|---|
| 12 GB | 8 GB |
| 16 GB | 12 GB |
| 24 GB | 16 GB |
| 32 GB | 24 GB |
| 48 GB | 36 GB |
Method 1: Updating RAM via Installer
- Stop the vScope Service
- Download and run the latest vScope installer.
- Choose Advanced Installation by unchecking “Express Installation.”
- Under vScope Core Settings, set the dedicated RAM.
- Complete the installation and ensure the data directories align with your current installation settings.
- Restart the vScope Service.
Method 2: Adjusting RAM via Windows Registry
- Stop the vScope Service
- Open regedit.exe and navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\vScopeServer\Parameters\Java - Right-click the key named Options and select Modify…
- You’ll see a line similar to:
-Xmx4096m -XX=256m - To change the RAM allocation, modify the -Xmx setting. For example, to increase from 4 GB to 8 GB, update the line to:
-Xmx8192m -XX=256m - Click OK, exit regedit, and restart the vScope service. vScope will now use the updated RAM setting.
