Re: [Xen-devel] Re: [Xen-users] Max. PV and HVM Guests



No, I didn't limit dom0 memory in grub.conf.

Here's my xm info output after I have shutdown all the virtual machines.

Have you limited dom0 memory (by specifying dom0_mem=XMB option in
grub.conf for xen.gz) ?

What does "xm info" say about free memory before starting any guests?
