Thanks Fajar for the info.
I set dom0_mem to 1G and here is my several outputs .
xm li:
Name ID Mem(MiB) VCPUs State Time(s)
Domain-0 0 1024 16 r----- 116.6
free -m:
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 1024 582 441 0 25 296 -/+ buffers/cache: 260 763 Swap: 32765 0 32765
xm info:
total_memory : 65530 free_memory : 63257
I believe I am doing good now !
Paras.

made available initially to dom0, and later it was balloon down (for
domU) to (for example) 2GB, you'll be having problems. To prevent
that, the initial dom0 memory is limited by default to be 32GB max.

If dom0 does not run any additional services, yes, it should be more
than enough.

Yes. If domU in total uses about 40GB, they will use the 32GB unused
plus another 8GB taken from dom0.
