Windows 7 64 bit

Hi,

Does anyone had any problem to use Smarts Console with Windows 7 64 bits?

I tried every thing:

- Ionix 7, 8 and 9 with and without patches;

- Install with compability modes;

- Run with compability modes;

- Different jre versions instead of the one shiped with the software;

- And obviously, opened a SR to EMC.

    Hello Gabriel,

    Per knowledge base article emc288279, ITOI does not provide a 64-bit version of the SAM console on any platform. There is only a 32-bit version that can run on a 64-bit operating system.

    Let me know if this answers your question.

    Regards,

    Joseph

    Hello Joseph

    Yes, I know.

    That's one of the reasons why I tried various compatibility modes (XP, etc).

    Even installed a Windows XP under a VMWare Server on my desktop for testing pruposes and the same problem happens.

    The problem is: Smarts Console opens for a few seconds, I can browse the alarms, then the console hangs.

    The same behaviour can be observed when logging to any domain (SAM or IP) or openning a topology browser instead of notification log.

    Hello Gabriel,

    I see that you've tested different operating systems and versions you mentioned in your last post.  It appears that you may be dealing with a java heap size issue.  Have you tried increasing your java heap size?  If no, knowledge base article emc273741 shows you how to increase the Java heap size.

    Regards,

    Joseph

    Hello,

    I didn't had tried to raise heapsize until you said.

    But it didn't worked.

    I also enabled the debug options for the console and no error was printed out on local logs and remote servers logs. ( sm_gui.exe -Dcom.smarts.log.level=TRACE -Dcom.smarts.java.log=javaLog.txt -Dcom.smarts.debugConnection=true)

    Hello Joseph,

    I could not find the SR at PowerLink.

    I don't know if it is because the SR is too OLD or because my profile was changed.

    Having same issues, installs on Windows 7 x64 are hit or miss. Trying to install Console version 9.1.0.0 and several machines are not working.
