Hi,
I've
installed xcp (xcp-xapi) on Ubuntu 12.04 -
installed, but have gotten no further. ÂWhat'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. ÂVery slow and painful to use. Â(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? ÂIn 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
Â
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=2G,max:2G"Â
also
tried
Â
GRUB_CMDLINE_XEN="dom0_mem=512M,max:512M"
... followed by
update-grub command.
Edited
/etc/xen/xend-config.sxp
--------------------------------------
Â
xend-config.sxp:(dom0-min-mem 2048)
Â
(enable-dom0-ballooning no)
All mods
followed by reboots, of course. ÂNone seems to
make any difference. ÂThe 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
Â
memory-free-computed ( RO): <expensive field>
Have I missed some basic concept
somewhere? ÂAnyone have similar problems?
Cheers,
LynÂ
