==== 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 | |||
