Using 3.1.2 c/s 15492 on Unisys ES7000 configured with 32
processors and 128 gb memory, I attempted to start a 160 gb domU. The xm
create command hangs, as well as any other xm commands that are issued.
If I do ctl-c of the hanging xm create command, I am able to terminate it and
then xm commands are once again functional.
I expected to get an error that there was not enough memory
available to start the domain.
Xend.log shows:
