[ovirt-users] What prevents from using a very very low-end hardware for manager?

[Daniel Helgenberger]

Hello Sven,

here free -m on my ovirtengine:

ssh root at ovirtengine.lab.mbox.loc free -m
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:          3830       2689       1141          0        151        669
-/+ buffers/cache:       1868       1961
Swap:         2047          0       2047

One could argure the buffers, but my engine is using about 2GB without.
Currently I have 10 VMs running + HE (mem capacity reasons on the HV's).
But IIRC I had times when HE was using about 3.5 GB. 

This is why I considered the 4GB ML as reasonable. Can you point out BZ
for me?

Thanks
