[ovirt-users] vm "maximum memory" setting questions

[Nelson Lameiras]

Hello, 

A new vm setting "maximum memory" has appeared in oVirt >4 which by default has the value "current memory"*4 

- Why is "maximum memory" setting necessary to set? 
- Why isn't this value set to "infinity" by default ? 

It seems to me kind of uselessly counter productif to have to decide a maximum memory amount beforehand. if we do this, will we have to set maximum CPU cores also in the future (being devil's advocate here ;) ) 

I did searched oVirt documentation, but very little information is available. 
Maybe this is an libvirt question, but I'm hopping a oVirt guru could quickly enlighten me. 

cordialement, regards,
