Hi,
when trying to run new domain under xen-3.2.1 with more than 127 MB
memory set in config file, I get this error message:
"Error: memory_dynamic_max must be less than or equal to memory_static_max"
128 MB is probably default value for domu. I tried to raise it by
"maxmem" option in guest config, but with same result (seems that maxmem
keyword is ignored by xend). I also tried to increase mem limits with
"xm mem-max" and "xm mem-set" on running domain, but it has no effect
unless domain is restarted. But after reboot, I get the same error message.
Last thing I tried was to hardcode higher default memory limit in
XendConfig.py (and compiled it to .pyc) but it had no effect too.
check your /etc/xen/xend-config.sxp file for "dom0-min-mem". It should
not be set to 0.

thanks

Thanks, but I have it set to 196 MB
(dom0-min-mem 196)
(enable-dom0-ballooning yes)
So my question is, how can I start guest domain with memory set to more
than 128 MB? I suspect this value to be saved somewhere in xend cache,
but I can't find it. Why does Balloon driver think that only 131064 KiB
is free? Thanks for answer. My configuration follows:
[xen]# cat /etc/xen/auto/testdomain.cfg
kernel = "/boot/vmlinuz-xenU"
cpus = "^0"
maxmem = 512
memory = 256
name = "test_domain"
vif = ['ip=192.168.0.2,bridge=eth0']
disk = ['phy:sdb1,sda1,w','phy:sdb2,sda2,w']
root = "/dev/sda1 ro"
