Hello, thank you for fast response.

The point of changing the max_mem_size is little tricky, as we have environments with together ~13k VMs running on top of ovirt, no kidding :) and currently doing upgrades from 3.6 > 4.1. So we can easy set those values to the needed ones for every VM, thats not a big deal.

However, I was just hoping it is editable without changing/modifying our current API calls, for any newly created VM (as this is the reason for asking for help), somewhere in engine-config or in DB.

I'll just opened an RFE https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1475382

Best regards,
Ladislav Humenik

Hello Ladislav,

the function computing size of default maximum memory size is currently not configurable from DB.

If you want it to be so please feel free to file an RFE [1].

Hallo, after engine update to 4.1.2 from 4.0.6 we have following bug

*Your Future Description: *

Maximum memory value is stored in |VmBase.maxMemorySizeMb| property. It is validated against range [/memory of VM/, /*MaxMemorySizeInMB/], where /*MaxMemorySizeInMB/ is one of |VM32BitMaxMemorySizeInMB|, |VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB| and |VMPpc64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB| configuration options depending on selected operating system of the VM. Default value in webadmin UI is 4x size of memory.

During migration of engine 4.0 -> 4.1 all VM-like entities will get max memory = 4x memory.

If a VM (or template) is imported (from export domain, snapshot, external system) and doesn't have max memory set yet, the maximum value of max memory is set (|*MaxMemorySizeInMB| config options).

*Our engine settings:*
[root@ovirt]# engine-config -g VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB
VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB: 8388608 version: 4.1
VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB: 8388608 version: 3.6
VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB: 8388608 version: 4.0
[root@ovirt# engine-config -g VM32BitMaxMemorySizeInMB
VM32BitMaxMemorySizeInMB: 20480 version: general

*Template:
*engine=# select vm_guid,vm_name,mem_size_mb,max_memory_size_mb from vm_static where vm_name LIKE 'Blank';
               vm_guid                | vm_name | mem_size_mb | max_memory_size_mb
--------------------------------------+---------+-------------+--------------------
 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 | Blank   |        8192 |              32768
(1 row)

*Created VM*
- expected is mem_size_mb * VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB
- we get mem_size_mb * 4 (default)

*Engine: *engine=# select vm_guid,vm_name,mem_size_mb,max_memory_size_mb from vm_static where vm_name LIKE 'vm-hotplug%';
               vm_guid                |   vm_name   | mem_size_mb | max_memory_size_mb
--------------------------------------+-------------+-------------+--------------------
 254a0c61-3c0a-41e7-a2ec-5f77cabbe533 | vm-hotplug  |        1024 |               4096
 c0794a03-58ba-4e68-8f43-e0320032830c | vm-hotplug2 |        3072 |              12288
(2 rows)

*Question:*
It is possible to change this (default * 4) behavior in DB??

if the issue is with GUI then setting the max memory in the template would be inherited to all VMs from that template, you can even change that in “Blank” I think, Jakube?

That’s for the default case, you can change that any way you like for the concrete VM you’re creating.

if the issue is with API you can simply provide any number for the max mem in all the requests

the VM[64|32]BitMaxMemorySizeInMB values are for the total maximum the particular qemu we ship supports, it’s not anything you should need to change.

Thanks,

michal
