If you are managing fabrics with more than 10 switches or 1000 ports, or if you are using the iSCSI
Gateway module extensively, you should increase the default heap size to 256 MB to avoid
out-of-memory errors.
If you are using a Mozilla family browser (Firefox, Netscape), you should set the default browser in
the Java control panel.
The following procedures instruct you in increasing the default heap size in the Java Control Panel
and in setting the default browser.
