[Xen-users] Number of domains versus memory usage

[Brian Johnson <blj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey fellow xen'ers -

We are going to be setting up a new Xen server, my first, and I have a 
question.  From what I have gathered reading through the documentation, you are 
limited in the number of domains you can have running by the amount of memory 
you have.  Our server is going to be starting with 4GB of ram.  

Now, if we want to have domains with 1GB of ram, does this mean we can only 
have 4 domains?  Or is there a more dynamic way of doing this?  In other words, 
something like, "Domain1 can use up to 1GB of ram, Domain2 can use up to 2GB of 
ram, Domain3 can use up to 4GB of ram".  And any time Domain3 needs 4GB, it can 
have it if it's free, otherwise it has to swap.  

Is that even possible?  Or is there another solution?  Or am I understanding 
the docs totally wrong?  Any help with this is GREATLY appreciated.  Thanks!
