Increase innodb_buffer_pool_size prohibited

Posted on September 22, 2014

Hi There,

Ive been trying desperately to have my innodb_buffer_pool_size increased from the current 2G to 10G. And all the while I have been receiving the following…

140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: The InnoDB memory heap is disabled
140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: Mutexes and rw_locks use GCC atomic builtins
140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: Compressed tables use zlib 1.2.3.4
140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: Initializing buffer pool, size = 3.0G
InnoDB: mmap(3263692800 bytes) failed; errno 12
140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: Completed initialization of buffer pool
140922  9:33:48 InnoDB: Fatal error: cannot allocate memory for the buffer pool
140922  9:33:48 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' init function returned error.
140922  9:33:48 [ERROR] Plugin 'InnoDB' registration as a STORAGE ENGINE failed.
140922  9:33:48 [ERROR] Unknown/unsupported storage engine: InnoDB
140922  9:33:48 [ERROR] Aborting

I have 16G of memory and want to enable optimal use of my memory for our high transaction, Saas platform. Could you advise at your earliest?

Thanks
