This pertains only to Hawkular services running on Mac OS/X via Openshift.

There is a small but critical detail that must be adjusted before running Hawkular in Openshift on OS/X. Not doing so will result in an endless(almost) looping and crashing of pods with very little information because of the pod logs/events crash very close to startup.

The trick here is to make sure that the OS/X docker has enough memory because the default is only 2 Gb, which is not enough to run Hawkular/Cassandra. To adjust this setting go into docker preferences and find the Advanced tab. There you can adjust the Memory and CPU. The memory is set initially at 2Gb which is not sufficient for Hawkular/Cassandra -- adjust this to 8 Gb or more.

The feel free to run Hawuklar/Cassandra:
`oc new-project mm-app;oc process -f hawkular-services-ephemeral.yaml | oc create -f -`
