That's just how Xen works. Dom-0 is really a virtual machine also. If you want it to have more RAM, allocate more to it, just like the others.

Try xm info.

Subject: [Xen-users] Cannot see my memory - why?

Has anyone seen this issue below.
Issue:
I cannot see most of my RAM from Domain-0 - even after a reboot

I have a CentOS 5.3 box with 16GB of ram and 8 CPU cores. I've set
Domain-0's memory to 1GB and my two DomUs to 4 GB and 2GB respectively (see
blelow).

r------ÂÂÂÂÂ 299.5

( ID #2 is missing because I destroyed it, removed it's config file and it's
disk - it's gone for good!)

When I check my system memory from Domain-0 using 'free -m' (the '- m' just
means show me in Megabytes), it shows that my box only has a total of 1 GB!
What the heck.ÂÂ /proc/meminfo shows the same thing! Where did my ram go?

Any thoughts guys?
