What does /proc/meminfo says ?
Memory usage is a complex thing.

I am a little confused on why my CentOS box is using so much RAM. I =
currently
have a small test setup which only has 12GB of ram total.
=20
When I log into the administrative interface it tells me:
=20
Memory
=20
4.3
Available
of 15.5 GiB=20
Over commit: 39% (allocated 45%)
=20
11.1 GB Used
=20
Currently I am only running 3 VMs with memory allocations as follows:
=20
Defined Memory:
1024 MB
Physical Memory Guaranteed:
1024 MB
=20
Defined Memory:
3072 MB
Physical Memory Guaranteed:
3072 MB
=20
Defined Memory:
2048 MB
Physical Memory Guaranteed:
2048 MB
Or 6144MB used by VM
=20
If I SSH into my ovirt host, and run TOP and sort by memory, the top =
usage items
are:
31896 qemu 21.5% 727:21.44 qemu-kvm
6008 qemu 14.6% 190:33.70 qemu-kvm
3019 ovirt 13.6% 35:47.64 java
5800 qemu 8.5% 784:26.88 qemu-kvm
2565 ovirt 3.9% 62:58.00 java
=20
Everything else is pretty small compared, but for the OVIRT/QEMU we =
roughly get
Total: 62% =3D 7.45GB
=20
So I am a bit confused as to the Ram being reported to me by the =
system (15.5GGB,
but the system only has 12GB), and assuming OVIRT is =
using around 7-8GB, does a bare minimal install of CentOS really need =
4-5GB of Ram to run?
=20
This is a bare minimal install of CentOS7 running only Webmin and =
oVirt. I think
there are several things I don't understand here, and I =
am quite new to oVirt and would like to learn, so please excuse my =
inexperience if this is a silly question!
=20
Thanks either way, I am really happy I ditched my ESXi box :D
