Have just installed the Nexus Repository Manager v3.29.2-02 on a RHEL 8.3 x86\_64 physical server with plenty of RAM (124 GB) and plenty of CPU (16).

Followed the installation documentation and the install went without error. Also installed java thru dnf, which is v 1.8.0\_282. However upon pointing my browser to localhost:8081, I get the Nexus Repo Manager Web UI, however it continues to show Initializing and does not proceed any further.

Upon inspecting the nexus.log, there are a lot of error entries and this one below occurs after starting Nexus

```

```

Because we have a lot of hardware resources, I’ve modified nexus.vmoptions for \> 32 GB and still having the same issue.

I’ve also tried to set JAVA\_HOME to the following: /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.282.b08-2.el8\_3.x86\_64

One thing note, this OS has been hardened, and not sure if that would be the root cause or not at this time. However searching online, don’t see anyone else having the exact issue.

thanks
