ESXi 4.1 GRAB error
I'm trying to run the EMC-ESXi-GRAB-1.1.0 utility against an ESXi server running 4.1. After several minutes, I'm receiving the following error message:
Collecting GRAB Data from vSphere .....................Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
Can anyone direct me to a fix to this? I've tried several different ESXi hosts and received the same error/output.
Thanks in advance!

Has the new version that supports ESXi 4.1 been released? I just checked the emcgrab ftp site and version 1.1.0 is all that is there.
I've sent a query to the team responsible for this utility inquiring about the eagerly anticipated update. In the meantime, continue to monitor both locations:
1) ftp://ftp.emc.com/pub/emcgrab/ESXi
2) PowerLink (can also select the "Alert Me!" thunderbolt icon to be automatically notified of updates)
Home > Support > Product and Diagnostic Tools > Grab Utilities
Yes, as Nollaig has pointed out, it is available on the ftp link and was uploaded late Friday of last week. It isn't available yet on PowerLink, but that is a typical delay when engineering submits it to the PowerLink team for upload versus having the ability to upload it to the FTP link first. As mentioned in the release notes:

This is a known issue when run against an ESXi 4.1 host and will be fixed in an upcoming update to the tool (v1.1.1 is in the pipeline). Unfortunately, there is not any current work-around; as tempting as it may be, manually increasing the java heap has no effect. For the record, this is not an issue with ESXi v4.0 hosts or earlier.
