Memory Allocation

The SRM console allocates enough memory for most configurations. If
you install options that require more memory than the SRM console
has allocated, the console dynamically resizes itself to provide ad-
ditional memory to support the new configuration.
A crash and reboot cycle can occur several times until the console has allocated
enough memory. Example 4–1 shows an abbreviated example of the output to a
serial console screen.
