Hi,
I've installed xcp
(xcp-xapi) on Ubuntu 12.04 - installed, but have gotten no
further. What's stopped me dead in my tracks is that Xen
appears to grab most of my 6GB of memory - well,
*something does* - leaving only 1GB for me to run my
desktop on. Very slow and painful to use. (It would be
ideal to run this on a test server, but nothing is
available.)
First, do I understand
correctly that "dom0" is just the host system? In other
words, when I boot the Xen kernel, that's dom0, yes?
Here's what I've tried up
to this point.
Edited
/etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=2G,max:2G"
also tried
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=512M,max:512M"
... followed by update-grub command.
Edited
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
--------------------------------------
xend-config.sxp:(dom0-min-mem 2048)
(enable-dom0-ballooning
no)
All mods followed
by reboots, of course. None seems to make any
difference. The performance monitor
application and "free" command show just under 1GB
available when booted under the Xen kernel, 6BG when
booted under normal Ubuntu.
Xen reports the proper memory stats:
# xe
host-list params=all | grep memory
memory-overhead
( RO): 83017728
memory-total
( RO): 6372888576
memory-free
( RO): 5120520192
memory-free-computed
( RO): <expensive field>
Have I missed
some basic concept somewhere? Anyone have similar
problems?
Cheers,
Lyn
