[Xen-users] Xen live migration dom0 memory

[Epiontis IT <it_mailinglists@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I'm new to XEN live migration. I have a question regarding XEN memory 
management while doing a vm live migration. I observed that migrating a 
vm on XEN 4.5.1 and Linux Kernel 4.1.0 requires the dom0 on the target 
machine to have memory available that is the size of the memory 
allocated to the vm (2G). Since I follow "XEN best practices" and set 
dom0_mem to 512M the target machine begins swapping out 2G to disk which 
makes everything nearly unresponsive. Is this requirement for the dom0 
memory size intended or might there be an issue with my setup?
Thanks.

Regards,
Alexander
