[ovirt-users] Memory ballooning not working on RHEV 4.1?

[Joseph Chapman]

Hello all,

I have a RHEV 4.1 host running Windows 10 VMs. I have installed the balloon
driver on the VMs (RHEV guest tools), and enabled memory ballooning on the
cluster using RHEV-M. On the VMs, I have set the system memory to Memory
Size: 4GB, Maximum Memory: 16GB.

While I can manually hot plug memory, I am not seeing additional memory
being automatically allocated to the VMs during a SQL workload. The
documentation for RHEV 4.1 is not clear on whether or not this automatic
ballooning is functional (earlier documentation suggests that it is
functional only by use of an API).

I am new to RHEV and would appreciate some help troubleshooting this.
Please let me know if there's any additional information I should provide.
I messaged this mailing list on suggestion from someone in the IRC. I hope
this is in-bounds.

Thanks for your time!
