Error while start Glassfish (errno = 22)

Question

I have a problem when starting my server glassfish. When I start it loads in about 1 minute and then immediately sends the error message quoted below.

Glassfish domain config:

The server exited prematurely with exit code 0.
Before it died, it produced the following output:

Command start-domain failed.

If someone know what i can do to fix this problem will help me a lot.

Thanks!

This problem occurs when you are using -XX:+UseLargePages and no more HugePages are available or they are not accessible for the current user.

You can see if HugePages are available if you run: cat /proc/meminfo (on *nix)

Try removing the JVM option and see if it helps. In the debian wiki you can get some detailed information about HugePages and how they are used.
