[ovirt-users] Hosted Engine increase memory

[Yanir Quinn]

Hi,
In order to increase the memory allocation or the cpu cores of the hosted
engine VM, the VM must be brought down and the vm.conf configuration file
must be edited on every hypervisor:

Set global maintenance mode from the hypervisor the VM is currently running
on:
# hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global

Cleanly shutdown the engine VM:
# hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
Makes sure the VM is Down and not 'Powering Off' before proceeding:
# hosted-engine --vm-status
Edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf on *each* hypervisor, and change
these lines to whatever amount of RAM in MB / CPU cores you wish the
VM to have:

memSize=4096
smp=1   *smp = number of virtual cores*

Start the VM again:# hosted-engine --vm-start
And take it out of maintenance mode:
# hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none

Regards,
Yanir Quinn
