Running elastic in windows with JRockit - Could not create the Java Virtual machine

Hello guys,

I'm new to elasticsearch and i'm following this tutorial
(http://bin63.com/how-to-install-elasticsearch-on-windows) to install it in
the windows environment.

The JDK/JRE in use is JRockit 1.6 (last version).

I faced a problem when running the .bat file, and i can't find a solution:

Unknown option or illegal argument: -XX +UseParNewGC.
Please check for incorrect spelling or review documentation of startup
options.

*
*
Could not create the Java virtual machine
*
*
My *JAVA_HOME *is pointing directly to *C:\Program
Files\Java\jrockit-jdk1.6.0_37-R28.2.5-4.1.0\bin\java *and my *Path *variable
is: *
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;%JAVA_HOME%
*

Both the erro and my global variables can be found in the attached files.

Any ideas?

For JRockit VM, you can safely disable (comment with "REM") the JVM
options in elasticsearch.bat starting with "-XX", because they are only
valid for HotSpot VM.

Sorry Jorg, what should i do to get it solved?

Run REM + elasticsearch.bat?

It isnt just a warning message, the engine is not initiating (
http://localhost:9200/)

You have to modify the start script. Pick your favorite text editor,
open the file %ES_HOME%\bin\elasticsearch.bat (I hope this is correct
Windows syntax), in doubt, open the File Explorer to find the file, it's
in the bin direcotry where you installed Elasticsearch. Now, add the
letters "REM " in front of the lines with the active JVM options
starting with "-XX". "REM" means remark and is marking a comment line in
Windows batch files. You will notice there are already lines with -XX
options that are marked with REM so it should be very easy.

Thanks alot Jorg, my .bat file is like this now:

@echo off

set ES_MAX_MEM=%ES_HEAP_SIZE%
)

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Xms%ES_MIN_MEM% -Xmx%ES_MAX_MEM%

if NOT "%ES_HEAP_NEWSIZE%" == "" (

REM Causes the JVM to dump its heap on OutOfMemory.
set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError

enough
REM space for a full heap dump.
REM JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -XX:HeapDumpPath=$ES_HOME/logs/heapdump.hprof

set
ES_CLASSPATH=%ES_CLASSPATH%;%ES_HOME%/lib/elasticsearch-0.20.5.jar;%ES_HOME%/lib/;%ES_HOME%/lib/sigar/
set ES_PARAMS=-Delasticsearch -Des-foreground=yes -Des.path.home="%ES_HOME%"

"%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java" %JAVA_OPTS% %ES_JAVA_OPTS% %ES_PARAMS% %* -cp
"%ES_CLASSPATH%" "org.elasticsearch.bootstrap.Elasticsearch"
goto finally

:err
echo JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set!
pause

:finally

ENDLOCAL

It's working great.
