Description of problem: Virtual Memory (in MB) default should be increased to 768MB when provisioning kvm guest using kickstartable tree of RHEL7. RHEL6 default is 512MB and causes anaconda to fail (OOM) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. register VHost into SAT, enable Provisioning entitlement 2. create a kickstart based on a RHEL7 kickstartable tree with virtualization type set to KVM Virtualized Guest 3. provision kvm guest using defaults (i.e Virtual Memory se to 512MB) 4. anaconda fails during install - OOM Actual results: failed provisioning using the defaults (anaconda OOM) Expected results: successful provisioning Additional info: Virtual Disk Space default (3GB) is sufficient for RHEL7 - no need to change

The problem is that this is not a change we can make. The 512 MB default is in a cobbler configuration. If we updated it to 768 MB or anything else and released a new cobbler package, then the updated config file would get saved as /etc/cobbler/settings.rpmsave and not take affect unless the customer manually updates the config file and restarts cobblerd. If a manual intervention and modifying of config files is required, then perhaps the best solution is simply to publish a knowledgebase article telling people they must modify the default ram for RHEL 7 kickstart profiles to 768 MB or higher.
