Hi again,

just a couple of minutes after sending my first mail to the list I found the "xm maxmem" command. Expected this to be the solution - but it is not... It's not working like expected - or, like I expected ;)

Starting with 128M memory for domain "dev" which was bootet with 256M and then decreased to 128M:

nd:~# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0       27    0  r----     46.6
bb1                2       63    0  -b---      7.1    9602
dev                5      127    0  -b---      4.5    9605

Ok, let's increase memory:

nd:~# xm maxmem dev 256
nd:~# xm balloon dev 200
nd:~# xm list
Name              Id  Mem(MB)  CPU  State  Time(s)  Console
Domain-0           0       27    0  r----     47.6
bb1                2       63    0  -b---      7.1    9602
dev                5      127    0  -b---      4.5    9605

Nothing happend :-((

nd:~# xm info
system                 : Linux
host                   : nd
release                : 2.6.11.10-xen0
version                : #2 Fri Jun 24 21:24:58 CEST 2005
machine                : i686
cores                  : 1
hyperthreads_per_core  : 1
cpu_mhz                : 2392
memory                 : 503
free_memory            : 202
nd:~#

And still around 200M left -- so increasing from 128 to 200 should fine....

Regards,
   Patrick
