FAQ - Where are the Aerospike process startup parameters set?
Detail
If you cannot use the sysVinit or systemd startup configuration for asd, you will need to set specific startup/runtime parameters (such as rmem_max and wmem_max) manually. The below explains where these parameters and their values can be found.
Answer
In non-systemd environments the following file sets any required parameters.
/etc/init.d/aerospike
In a systemd environment (RHEL 7 and higher, ubuntu 16.04+) the parameters are found here:
/usr/bin/asd-systemd-helper
Notes
- Parameters are not listed specifically as these may change between versions.
- Information on running Aerospike as a non-root user can be found on the Running as non root documentation page.
