Re: [Xen-users] Physical memory not fully available to DomU's



Hmm, just one reply of somebody who has the same issue. No one else encountered this problem? Or has any kind of clue?

Hi,

I'm having a weird problem with one of my Xen machines. I have a 96Gb 
ram server, running on Debian 6 with Xen kernel. However, I can only 
assign memory out of a pool of 24GB, the rest is unavailable for 
assignment. When trying to run a new DomU i'm getting the error that 
there isn't enough free ram. However, when I do the math myself I can 
see that there's 22GB of ram in use, which leave 74GB available (minus 
Dom0 minimum limit, which is set at 8GB).

I've tried disabling ballooning, i als saw posts of ram missing due to 
the balloondriver, but nothing in the likes of this volume of missing ram.

Any help would be very much appreciated. Seems a shame to let 74GB go to 
waste. If you need any more info, please let me know!
