Re: [Xen-users] Memory not seen in Dom0

I have a machine with 64G of ram. Running CentOS 5.4 with kernel 2.6.18-164,

are no vm's running.

I'm new to xen, so my first question is: is this normal? If not, anyone know
what the issue might be? Any help or pointers to a doc is appreciated.

Yes, this is normal, or rather it is a limitation of the xen kernel. Note that it probably is not a real issue in practice, as any VM's that you create will come from the "missing" 32GB, only overflowing into the "real" 32GB when the first 32GB is used. I have a similar system with 48GB physical memory, and with 26 guests, each having 1 GB, the amount of memory shown in Dom0 is around 22GB.
