[ovirt-users] cannot exceed maximum memory size

[Jakub Niedermertl]

Based on the snipped provided at the beginning of the conversation I
assume rest api v3 is used. I'm not sure, max memory property was
backported there.

@Juan do we have some support for 4.1 changes in rest api v3?

In rest api v4 it's
http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.1/#types/memory_policy/attributes/max
.

<vm>
    ...
    <memory_policy>
        <max>amount in bytes</max>
        ...
    </memory_policy>
    ...
</vm>
