Description

Cloned from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1369589
Description of problem:

There should be a check to ensure that the vm.overcommit_memory variable is set to 0 on Red Hat Satellite 6.X

We have two scripts to add this check into:

One is : https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1474003

The other is the pre-upgrade check preformed by the foreman-installer itself:

  1. foreman-rake katello:upgrade_check

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:

Very

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set teh vm.overcommit to 2 and the upgrade will fail every time.
2.
3.

Actual results:

Currently there is no check for this.

Expected results:

For either the healthcheck script or the preupgrade script to flag this as needing to be fixed.
