"in the absence of clues, anything that can be eliminated quickly should be eliminated"
your issue may not be within the rhel server but rather within the vmware server ...
since all the resources in the vmware server are shared by all the hosted servers and since each hosted server is only allocated a certain amount of virtual ram and virtual cpu during the build, changing the hosted server's kernel parameters without knowing it's build parameters (i.e., 1 cpu, 4 gb ram, etc.) could be problematic not just for the specific server involved but also for the other hosted servers in the vmware host ...
i suggest you check with your vmware administrator -- if a separate person -- and/or vmware support for some guidance on memory issues ... it is very possible they may not be able to help you with this matter but they should at least be able to educate you further on vmware's resource sharing concepts ...

cpc_access
cpc_access(3CPC) CPU Performance Counters Library Functions cpc_access(3CPC)
NAME
cpc_access - test access CPU performance counters
SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lcpc [ library... ]
#include <libcpc.h>
int cpc_access(void);
DESCRIPTION
Access to CPU performance counters is possible only on systems where the appropriate hardware exists and is correctly configured. The
cpc_access() function must be used to determine if the hardware exists and is accessible on the platform before any of the interfaces that
use the counters are invoked.
When the hardware is available, access to the per-process counters is always allowed to the process itself, and allowed to other processes
mediated using the existing security mechanisms of /proc.
RETURN VALUES
Upon successful completion, cpc_access() returns 0. Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets errno to indicate the error.
By default, two common errno values are decoded and cause the library to print an error message using its reporting mechanism. See
cpc_seterrfn(3CPC) for a description of how this behavior can be modified.
ERRORS
The cpc_access() function will fail if:
EAGAIN Another process may be sampling system-wide CPU statistics.
ENOSYS CPU performance counters are inaccessible on this machine. This error can occur when the machine supports CPU performance coun-
ters, but some software components are missing. Check to see that all CPU Performance Counter packages have been correctly
installed.

NOTES
The cpc_access() function exists for binary compatibility only. Source containing this function will not compile. This function is obsolete
and might be removed in a future release. Applications should use cpc_open(3CPC) instead.
