Re: [Libvir] can't start windows guest domains

Basically that's a bug in Xen anyway -- all that 'virsh setmaxmem' does is to make a Xen hypercall to balloon down Domain-0, so all the hard stuff happens in Xen. 'Blocked' is the normal state (unless you mean 'Paused'). Domains are only 'Running' when they are using CPU. Can you ping the domains (if they have a network connection)? Or view their console? I would expect that allocating 512 MB to Dom0 as you did should be sufficient (unless it's running a huge database or something like that). The problem, though, isn't likely to be the allocation, but the fact that you are using 'virsh setmaxmem' to balloon it down from something larger to 512 MB. In any case, I'm not sure what the problem is - unless you can find something in a logfile, it's hard to tell.
