I have a couple of 9124e Blade switches that have Severe Alerts reported for the current memory status in the show system resources output as shown below. I'm guessing that the amount of memory free is a problem, but how can I resolve the issue? The Blade switches don't appear to be heavily utilized so how can I increase the amount of free memory?

I have the same question about an MDS 9513 SAN Director with a Minor Alert. However this does have some healthy usage numbers.
