I am experiencing out of memory error while starting 7.3 pega on VMware Fusion. I am using macbook pro (2015 edition) with 8 GB RAM. I have attached the error for reference. Any idea on fixing this error please.

I am not facing out of memory error with Pega 7.1 instance. This error happens only with Pega 7.3. kindly share your thoughts in fixing out of memory error while using Pega 7.3

I'm facing the same issue when I start Indexing on a Pega 7.3 VM (Oracle VM Virtual Box).
How I solved it:
Increased the heap size of the tomcat instance to 4092.
How to do:
Find the file setenv.bat in your VM located in /opt/tomcat/bin
Btw, this was missing in my VM so I created one and added the following line
set JAVA_OPTS=-Xms4092m -Xmx4092m
Now I got rid of OOM exceptions.

@WilhelmM : Thanks for your reply. After increasing the heap size, I am able to launch pega 7.3 developer portal.
But session is getting killed in 5 mins with same error. Could you please help on this ?

Try to increase also your RAM to 6GB or better 8GB which is usually preconfigured with 4GB.
But I'm wondering why so may are having the same problem now with the VMs given by the accademy course. I suggest to address this directly to the pega accademy team as I thing there might be another deeper problem.
1. Miss configuraiton of elastic search which is starting with indexing as soon you start Pega initially and allovates to much resources.
2. Backgroundagents which shouldn't run in the exercise environemnt.
3. etc....

Thank you for your reply.
My system have is 8GB RAM. After allocating 6 GB RAM to virtualbox , my main system is very slowing down and hanging.
Academy Course suggests for 8 GB RAM allocation by default which is not possible in my case.
I tried to install Pega 7.3 personal edition which supports Windows not Mac :(.
I will try to contact pegaacademy for this issue.
Thanks

Can you please send me the root credentials too so I can increase the heap size? Keep on running into out of memory issues on the exercise system and it's really putting a damper on things!

Hi,
I had the same problem and increased the memory to 8gb and checked "Enable Hypervisor applications in this virtual machine" on my VMWare Fusion.
Now it is working ok and not throwing OOM exceptions.
One interesting thing is that It is working fine with 4096m on my VirtualBox. Not sure if it is running with hypervisor but 4096m is seems working with VirtualBox. I prefer to use VMWare fusion because the Symantec end point protection gets mad when I run the SAME virtual machine with VirtualBox.
I get OOM exceptions with same settings on Fusion...then increased the memory and marked Hypervisor enabled... not sure If the amount of the memory or the hypervisor fixed the issue.
