All,
I am trying to understand the use of NumberOfBlocks and ConsumableBlocks in the Xen_Memory
class, specifically for the Xen host. What I have noticed is that between
libvirt-cim-0.4.1 and libvirt-cim-0.5.2 the values for NumberOfBlock is now different than
ConsumableBlocks and much larger than the physical memory installed on the system. Is it
the case that NumberOfBlocks represents the maximum possible blocks for the hardware, or
some such number ConsumableBlocks is the memory that is actually installed in the system?
On my system, however, NumberOfBlocks reports 16TB where /proc/meminfo reports 32Tb for
VmallocTotal. In short, should I be using ConsumableBlocks to determine the total
physical memory on the system?
Thanks for your help.
