IPA minimum RAM requirement, is it possible to hard limit memory use by IPA?
Issue
As of 20120220, the "RHEL 6.2 Identity Management Guide" states that only 1GB of RAM is needed, however it really looks like IPA needs at least a 1.9GB of free RAM.
2.2.1. Hardware Requirements reads:
Table 2.1. Minimum Hardware Requirements
