HPVM dynamic memory Question

[OScar123]

Even I have the same doubt. Has this been taken care in current release 4.3 .


Just want to know how to manage dynamic memory.

Is it  mandatory to set startup memory using -r option . Because as an example if I set memory of two VM's  as per below command

hpvmmodify -P host1 -r 6G \
-x ram_dyn_type=any \
-x ram_dyn_min=1222M \
-x ram_dyn_max=10G \
-x ram_dyn_target_start=2G

I wont be able to increase memory in both the VM beyond 6 GB due to -r option. And even if i want to reduce the memory on VM1 by 2 Gb and assign it to VM2 to make it 8GB I wont be able to since again -r 6G was used earlier it will not allow to do so



So please tell me What if I dont mention -r option and only specify the following paramters with hpvmmodify .

hpvmmodify -P batman -x ram_dyn_min=1222M

hpvmmodify -P batman -x ram_dyn_max=10G

hpvmmodify -P batman -x ram_dyn_target_start=4G

This is not mention in HP doc . Will it work. WIll the VM boot with 4G and later when i want i can increase it till 10G.

Hello,

please can you provide the output of :

#hpvmmgmt -V -l ram

on each Guest ( VM1 and VM2)

try to use command detailed here:

HPVM command

try that:

#hpvmmodify -P host1 -r 6G

and then each option in their own
