Hi guys,
despite reading hours and hours in the internet i'm still struggling with
"memory", "currentmemory" and "maxMemory".
Maybe you can help me to sort it out.
My idea is that a guest has an initial value of memory (which "memory" seems to
be) when booting.
We have some Windows 10 guests which calculate some stuff and i would like to increase
memory during runtime
until it reaches a fixed maximum value.
My hope was that a higher "maxMemory" could solve this, that the guest claims
more memory and gets it.
I didn't get it. Is my idea wrong ? Do i need a balloon driver for that ?
What i find concerning ballooning is that it doesn't work automatically but has to be
adjusted
manually. Is that right ?
Balloon drivers for windows are available.
Is my idea right, does that work basically ? If yes how do i have to set the parameters ?
Is the memory released after the guest has e.g. finished his calculation ?
Does that work automatically or do i have to adjust that manually ?
Thanks.
Bernd
