MustGather: Native Out Of Memory on Windows

Troubleshooting


Problem

This is the data gathering procedure for native Out Of Memory (OOM) errors for IBM WebSphere Application Server on Windows. If you know, or strongly suspect, that you have a native memory problem, or have been informed by an IBM support representative that you have a native memory problem, these are the steps to collecting the data needed for proper diagnosis of a root cause.

Symptom

Some indications that you have a native memory problem are as follows. If you have any uncertainty about these points you should contact an IBM support representative first.
  • Failure to create/fork new operating system threads (messages in SystemOut.log)
  • JVMDBG001 (malloc) errors in native_stderr.log
