Description

Setting AMBARI_JVM_ARGS on the server will override the default memory settings for the JVM.

Example for setting custom memory parameters:

1. After completing ambari server setup, set the environment variable with the desired memory settings,
!# export AMBARI_JVM_ARGS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1620m"

2. Then start the ambari server
!# ambari-server start

Verify that the server starts with desired memory settings for the JVM
