Note:

OpenShift Container Platform runs special components which consume memory. See the OpenShift documentation - https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.9/ nodes/clusters/nodes-cluster-resource-configure.html to understand memory requirements. As an OpenShift administrator, set resource limit for the Prometheus pod. See https://access.redhat.com/solutions/3867881 to know the Red Hat recommendations. Modify resources.limits and resources.requests before installing InfoScale.
