Eric, thank you for your response. Virsh memtune, setmaxmem and setmem won't survive a reboot.
Ah, but they DO survive reboots, if you use the right options. 'virsh memtune --live --config' affects both the running guest and the next boot. ------- Appologize for top-posting. I'm getting error when specifying --live or --config. Am I doing something wrong? # virsh memtune test --hard-limit 786432 --config --live error: Unable to change memory parameters error: unsupported flags (0x3) in function lxcDomainSetMemoryParameters # libvirtd -v 2014-01-31 00:17:00.511+0000: 3313: info : libvirt version: 0.10.2, package: 18.el6_4.15
