Provide easy to consume day 1 modifications for Openshift to allow large scale Spectrum Discover deployments

Attempting to install a Spectrum Discover v2.0.5 system into a newly installed Openshift v4.10 cluster does only allow "small" deployments.



E.g. attempting to install a size 3 mln 9 system results in the following error message and a DB2U that has no ports 50000 and 50001 available:



SQL1084C The database manager failed to allocate shared memory because an


operating system kernel memory limit has been reached. SQLSTATE=57019



So the Spectrum Discover documentation should include Openshift tuning and customization instructions to allow for large scale Spectrum Discover deployments. E.g. size 3 mln 24 ( like Airbus ).



Some info about that can be found here:
