Using the php-memory commands

You can use the php-memory commands to list or update the PHP memory limits on your Developer Portal.

  1. Log in as Cloud manager:
    apic login --server management_server --realm admin/identity_provider --username cloud_username --password cloud_password
    You can determine which identity provider to use in the --realm parameter by entering the following command to see a list of all available identity providers (you do not need to be logged in to use this command):
    apic identity-providers:list --scope admin --server mgmt_endpoint_url --fields title,realm
    For example:
    apic identity-providers:list --scope admin --server myserver.com --fields title,realm
    total_results: 2
    results:
      - title: Cloud Manager User Registry
        realm: admin/default-idp-1
      - title: Corporate LDAP user registry
        realm: admin/corporate-ldap
    The title value should enable you to determine which identity provider to use; you can then copy the corresponding --realm parameter directly from the displayed realm value. For any identity providers that were created by your administrator after API Connect was installed, the names will have been determined at creation time. The default Cloud Manager Local User Registry for login as a member of the cloud administration organization is default-idp-1.

    For full details of the apic login command, see Logging in to a management server.

  2. Get the availability zone of the portal service's sites that you want to list:
    apic availability-zones --org orgid/name --server management_server
  3. List all the portal services in that availability zone:
    apic portal-services:list --org orgid/name --server management_server --availability-zone availability_zone
  4. Get the selected portal service's name:
    apic portal-services:get --org orgid/name --server management_server --availability-zone availability_zone PORTAL-SERVICE-NAME
  5. List the current PHP memory limits on the Developer Portal platform:
    apic --mode portaladmin php-memory:list --server management_server --portal_service_name PORTAL-SERVICE-NAME
    You receive output like this example:
    Current web memory is set to: 768M
    Current admin memory is set to: 768M
  6. Update the current PHP memory limits on the Developer Portal platform:
    apic --mode portaladmin php-memory:update --server management_server --portal_service_name PORTAL-SERVICE-NAME --memory_value 1024
    You receive output like this example:
    Setting php memory limit to 1024M within the database
    Setting php memory limit to 1024M in /var/devportal/storenosync/php.ini
    Setting php memory limit to 1024M in /web/local/php_config/php.ini
    Done
Note: Consider the memory resource limits that are allocated to your Developer Portal pods before you set this value. Setting this value too high can result in the portal pods restarting because the containers request more memory than is allowed by Kubernetes. Setting the value too low can result in the internal portal processes failing because of lack of available memory.
