[Users] disable ballooning mode
I'm trying to get virtual windows and specific software on it working. Windows is working fine but i'm getting blue screen when trying to start this particular application (which works fine in vmware). I figureout that there could be some kind of problem with memory. My question is about ballonning memory: is it on as default ? If yes, then how to disable it ? Did anyone also discovered such problemes ? -- Michal

what makes you think it's memory?

a hunch ? I'm clueless to be honest. First thing I've done was convert machine from virtualbox and start on ovirt - windows is ok, application is not. Second i made new windows installation and install mentioned app - bluescreen again. -- Michal

It's not ballooning - it's not configured. It's unlikely to be memory related. What's the application?

Yes, I just realized that ballooning is not configured (during windows ballooning driver installation). Mentioned application is a software for switching voip calls. There is a bunch of helper appliactions (which are working fine), problem is with main application server/deamon. It is develop internaly by company I work for. We use this applications on many physical and wirtual servers (including kvm and xen on different hosting providers) and never see such behave as on ovirt. -- Michal

oVirt is using KVM under the covers. What version of KVM have you tried it on and how is it configured (eg. libvirt xml or qemu command line)

just guessing here, maybe related to the type of the vm' nic?

It also crossed my mind, but no. I did try virtio/ide and virtio/rtl - same result -- Michal

Yes, I'm aware of that. It's the reason I choose ovirt.

I can't say. We use hosted environment with web panel only (elastichosts.com) I will try to start the same machine on different host with "clean" libvirt. -- Michal

I'd try combinations of virtio-net -vs- emulated rtl driver and virtio-blk -vs- ide
