RE: [Xen-users] RHEL 5.2 Xen Kernel doesn't detect all amount of physica
Hi,
Thank you all for your replies.
The reason I brought up this issue is that currently I have a machine with
64GB RAM installed with RHEL 5.2 i386 version.
When using the PAE kernel the OS detects the total amount of memory, but
when using the Xen kernel that shipped with this Red Hat distribution it
detects only 14GB of RAM
I was wondering if I will install the x86_64 version of RHEL 5.2 will it
detects more memory.
Any help figure out what is the issue will be appreciated.
In addition I would be happy to provide the info to the guy from the Red
Hat support team.
Thanks
Ido

Hi,
I got a reply from RedHat support (Only emailed poster and not the list
initially). Max for RHEL Xen kernel is same as standard Kernel (1Tb for
X64) but max mem per VM is limited to 32Gb.
Reassuring to hear though, I was a bit worried that updating our Centos
5.2 systems from 32Gb Ram to 128Gb might not work :)

Bog standard out of the box, I have a 64 bit centos 5.2 holding and
recognising 64GB RAM happily. RHEL should be able to do the same.

>From what I have read the XenServer distribution can support up to 32GB
RAM per VM and 128GB for the whole system.
My guess is that unless a deliberate restriction is put in place the
limits RAM for RHEL5 Xen kernel then 256Gb RAM in total and 32Gb RAM per
VM is probably the max.
Anyone know for sure?

Hello All,
Does anyone know what is the current status of RHEL 5.2 x86_64 with
respect
to the maximum amount of RAM detected by the Xen 64 bit kernel
(the one that shipped with Red Hat distribution )
In the following link
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-5-manual/en-US/RHEL5
10/Virtualization_Guide/ch-virt-hw-support.html
it states that 32GB of RAM is the maximum amount of physical memory the
Xen
kernel can detect. Is it still the updated status ?
Is there a work around or any other way to overcome this limit ?
Any info would be appreciated
Thanks,
Ido
