# 3) Check the Java Memory Parameters
#########################################
Check Java Memory parameters defined in $GRID_HOME/oui/oraparam.ini
cd $GRID_HOME/oui
cat oraparam.ini | grep -i java
[oracle@oralinux1 oui]$ cat oraparam.ini | grep -i memory
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx1024m"
[oracle@oralinux1 oui]$
=====================================================================================================================
#########################################
# 4) Reason for Failure
#########################################
During Node addition process, it copies entire GRID_HOME files from existing node to the new node. Java Memory parameters defined in oraparam.ini file is 1024 MB, but looks like this memory is not sufficient.
=====================================================================================================================
##########################
## Solution
##########################
Increase JAVA Memory to a higher value
[oracle@oralinux1 oui]$ cat oraparam.ini | grep -i memory
JRE_MEMORY_OPTIONS=" -mx2048m"
[oracle@oralinux1 oui]$
=====================================================================================================================
After increasing it to double the memory, addNode.sh script is running good.
