Set or Get console memory
The service console memory should be increased if you are running apps other than the default install. This includes management agents, backups, etc. The changes require a reboot to take effect. You can incorporate this in your kickstart script. Don't forget to also set your swap partition to be 2x the Service Console memory, where the maximum used is 1600MB as you cannot set the console memory to over 800MB
To see the current Setting: The setting shown is in bytes (MB * 1024 * 1024)
vimsh -n -e "/hostsvc/memoryinfo" serviceConsoleReserved - Current setting serviceConsoleReservedCfg - Setting after next reboot
Set to 800MB:
vimsh -n -e "/hostsvc/memoryinfo 838860800"
