[libvirt] save-image-edit fails to change the memory configuration of the image
Hi, I see the below error when i change the memory. virsh save-image-edit /MANAS/rhel7VM1-running-save2 --running error: unsupported configuration: Target domain max memory 4194304 does not match source 2097152 Failed. Try again? [y,n,f,?]: n error: unsupported configuration: Target domain max memory 4194304 does not match source 2097152 Any idea why is this disallowed ? Thanks, Shiva

You can only change parameters that don't change guest ABI. Changing maximum memory changes this ABI (it changes what hardware the guest OS sees). Not to mention that you can't increase max memory for a running domain anyway as memory hotplug is not implemented yet. Jirka
Thanks Jirka. Regards, Shiva On Mon, Dec 9, 2013 at 5:23 PM, Jiri Denemark <jdenemar@redhat.com> wrote:
