How to allocate additional memory on Virtual Machines V4.1

[cabloy]

Hi everyone,

I have installed guest (hostname: guest1) HP-UX V2. Virtual disk attached to guest1 is a physical disk (disk scsi 0 0 0 0 0 disk /dev/rdsk/c8t0d4). Installation went without problems, a guest1 is working ok.

So my question is: how to allocate the Memory/CPU Dynamically on Virtual Machine.


Your time and know-how will be appreciated,
Thanks

Shalom,

You are not clear whether this is vpars.

If it is.

You must down the machine receiving the memory before issuing the vparmodify -p name -a .

Memory can not be dynamically allocated and CPU's can.

This applies even with vpar version 5.

If this is hpvm, I don't have an answer for you, zero point the post.

So it is not vPars.



Regarding this you should first read chapter

9.6 Dynamic Memory

Read, understand, follow procedures.


If you still have questions, come back to this thread.

Modify Memory resource assignment of VM Guest:
=============================================

hpvmhost# hpvmodify â P â r 4G
ï change memory to 4GB (need to reboot VM Guest)

This isn't dynamic.

You need to turn dynamic on, set a default "fixed" value, a minimum and maximum and a current fpr dynamic (see manual).


"...
Dynamic memory is an optional feature of Integrity VM that allows you to change the amount of physical memory in use by a virtual machine without rebooting the virtual machine. In this release of Integrity VM, dynamic memory is available on HP-UX guests only."

[Johnson Punniyalingam]

Dynamic memory management from the guest is disabled by default and must be enabled from the VM Host. If the feature is not enabled, dynamic memory information can be displayed , but the memory size cannot be changed.

Use the hpvmcreate, hpvmmodify, or hpvmclone command and include the -x dynamic_memory_control option. Specify 1 as the argument to the option. For example, on the VM Host system, enter the following command to enable dynamic memory control on the guest named host1:


# hpvmmodify -P host1 -x dynamic_memory_control=1

Thanks to all. I've already solved the problem.
