XEN 4.0 24gb ram problem ?
 

Hi,
I have custom server with i7 processor and 24GB of ram but xen sees only 16 gb :

root@carrot:/etc/xen# cat /proc/meminfo* | grep MemTotal
MemTotal:****** 17529432 kB
root@carrot:/etc/xen# uname -an
Linux carrot.ysrv.com 2.6.32-5-xen-amd64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 12 05:46:49 UTC 2011 x86_64 GNU/Linux


root@carrot:/etc/xen#

Is it Xen limitation or maybe something else ?

regards

Hi,

it's not a Xen limitation. But here, you are showing the memory available for the Dom0, how much memory see Xen ? (xm info | grep total_memory)

And are you sure to use a 64Bit Xen ? (not only the Dom0 Kernel)

For example : # dpkg -l 'xen-h*' | grep ii
ii xen-hypervisor-4.0-amd64 4.0.1-1 The Xen Hypervisor on AMD64

Thank you Olivier :)

It appears that there was some change (that I missed) between 3 and 4 . Actually as I remember in xen 3 dom0 was always showing real physical amount of RAM . Now it appears that every domU takes ram from dom0 and I see only remains ;)



so .. summing up - xm info shows right amount of ram,

Thank You Olivier

Actually even on xen3 (Debian Lenny) this seems to work as described:


[root@animal][~-01:22] xm info|grep total_memory
total_memory : 8183

[root@animal][~-01:22] cat /proc/meminfo | grep MemTotal
MemTotal: 3008512 kB
