3, Run the following commands
sed -i 's/vm\.overcommit_memory = .*/vm\.overcommit_memory = 2/g' /etc/sysctl.conf sed -i 's/vm\.overcommit_ratio = .*/vm\.overcommit_ratio = 100/g' /etc/sysctl.conf sysctl -p
Validation
[root@sds-node logs]# cat /etc/sysctl.conf | grep "vm.overcommit" vm.overcommit_memory = 2 vm.overcommit_ratio = 100
