FWSM Memory Management Ver 3.1(5)

[3ssheedy]

Hi

We have a FWSM running ver 3.1(5). We are running into memory problems on one of the contexts/partitions. Apart from using the

resource acl-partition <number-of-partitions>

command, is there any way of manually reconfiguring more memory to the particular context which requires the most?

Is there a good webpage with memory management advice for the FWSM?

Thanks

You can use the "allocate-acl-partition" in the system context to 'dedicate' a memory partition to a particular context. This was this context has 'exclusive' access to this partition, have a look at:

Thanks Farrukh

The context is already in its own memory partition but I'll configure it exclusive now as well.

I'm sorry this is the only alternate I know of. If you add multiple contexts then they start sharing the partitions. This way you can at least guarantee one partition for this high utilization context.
