Are you sure of that ? Because, As Far I known (for linux guest), the memory is 
not allocated/filled at boot, and ballonning occur when the driver is loaded 
very fast at boot.
(For windows guest it's different, because it's zero filling the memory at boot)

Yes ;)

Just be carefull to set only 1 socket, as hotplug is core by core

(I have also send pve-manager patches in the mailing, but dietmar don't have 
apply them yet

Which ones? Can't find them.

How? set in config balooning to min and max to 4096 and then changing it
to 8192 for min max does not change anything in the guest.

Set max to maximum "hotpluggable" memory
set min to current guest memory
set shares = 0 (that disable auto ballonning from pvestatd)

Then play with min memory up/down

Yeah found that. But this means that the vm allocates the value of max until 
the balloon guest driver is loaded. So if I set it to 128gb for each guest they

cpu hot add is already implemented. (even in proxmox ;)

cpu hot del is not yet implemented. (but they are some prelimary patches in the 
qemu mailing list)

memory hotplug is not yet implemented. (should be ok for next qemu 2.0 release 
I think)

But maybe they are cheating, like I do : just use ballonning with a fixed size ?

to 8192 for min max does not change anything in the guest.

Objet: [pve-devel] CPU and Memory hot add

Hi,

while browsing the web, i found profitbricks, which is active in germany
and the us (http://www.profitbricks.com/technical-info).

They use KVM and offer memory and cpu hot add on the fly? Anybody an
idea how this works if kvm does not already support it?

Greets,
Stefan
