Just an FYI.
In my case the balloon driver was installed and it was running. The problem was eventually resolved by uninstalling the entire agent suite, rebooting and reinstalling it. Doing the same just for the balloon driver didn't work.

The error appears on certain VMs (but not all) consistently every 15 minutes. It doesn’t matter if the “Memory Balloon Device Enabled” checkbox checked or unchecked.
I got the message to stop appearing by changing the value of Physical Memory Guaranteed to match the VMs configured memory.

I have a lot of centos 6 based vms and I have install "ovirt guest agent" for those vms. But two vm always say "The balloon driver on xxxvm on hostX is requested but unavailable" I did check the virtio_balloon module are loaded on vms.
Anybody can me help?
Thanks in advance
Tibor
I see that too, but only on Windows 2008 R2 guests... No one else ever said anything about it, so I thought it was just me:)
