hello everyone:
during the days I use kvm,I have got some questions I want to
know,please read the following questions.
1.When a kvm VM is running, I use 'virsh setvcpus <domain> <count>'
to
change the cpu numbers of the VM, and when I use 'virsh dumpxml
<domain>',there is a change from '<vcpus>count</vcpus>' to
'<vcpus
current="currentcount">count</vcpus>', just because of this I
can't
start the VM after I shutdown it. could you help me about this.
It works well for
me, the guest can be successfully started after
shutdowning, what's the libvirt version?
2. when I use "virsh setmaxmem <domain>
<value>" to change the max
memory of the kvm VM, it says "error: Unable to change MaxMemorySize
error: this function is not supported by the connection driver:
virDomainSetMaxMemory", I want to know if libvirt has bugs or not.
Also work
for me, for a running domain, will meet the following error as
expected:
# virsh setmaxmem vr-rhel5u7-x86_64-kvm 1048576
error: Unable to change MaxMemorySize
error: Requested operation is not valid: cannot resize the maximum
memory on an active domain
For a inactive domain, original Max memory is 524288 kB, the change is
valid:
# virsh dominfo vr-rhel5u7-x86_64-kvm
Id: -
Name: vr-rhel5u7-x86_64-kvm
UUID: 663ce18a-e257-2b05-91ae-fe29381b3a2f
OS Type: hvm
State: shut off
CPU(s): 3
Max memory: 1048576 kB
Used memory: 524288 kB
Persistent: yes
Autostart: disable
Managed save: no
Security model: selinux
Security DOI: 0
3.It works fine except I reboot the VM after I use "virsh setmem
<domain> <value>" to change the kvm VM boot memory, for example, I
change the memory 3000000k, but it can not save the value the next
time to reboot.
You should see options family of virsh setmem such as --live,
--config
and --current:
--config affect next boot Note: it is a option what you want.
--live affect running domain
--current affect current domain
Good Luck!
Alex
Best wishes and Merry Christmas!
