[ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable
Hi, I have a lot of centos 6 based vms and I have install "ovirt guest agent" for those vms. But two vm always say "The balloon driver on xxxvm on hostX is requested but unavailable" I did check the virtio_balloon module are loaded on vms. Anybody can me help? Thanks in advance Tibor ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable
you receive this error because on your cluster configurations you have checked "Enable Memory Balloon Optimization", and on some of your VMs there aren't balloon driver available; if you don't want anymore this warning messages you can uncheck this under Clusters -> (select your cluster) edit -> Optimization -> uncheck Enable Memory Balloon Optimization Best Regards Amedeo Salvati Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2014 07:59:33 + From: Karli Sj?berg To: "tdeme...@itsmart.hu" Cc: "users@ovirt.org" Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable Message-ID: <5F9E965F5A80BC468BE5F40576769F099DF97243@exchange2-1> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" On Wed, 2014-11-12 at 08:35 +0100, Demeter Tibor wrote: > Hi, > > > I have a lot of centos 6 based vms and I have install "ovirt guest > agent" for those vms. > But two vm always say "The balloon driver on xxxvm on hostX is > requested but unavailable" > I did check the virtio_balloon module are loaded on vms. > > > Anybody can me help? > > > Thanks in advance > > > Tibor > I see that too, but only on Windows 2008 R2 guests...

I thought this might be because the balloon driver needs the guest agent to work and obviously this is not loaded yet.

I'm seeing the same on a Win7 VM and also thought it might be just me. :) I've only noticed this quite recently.

Re: [ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable
Just an FYI. In my case the balloon driver was installed and it was running. The problem was eventually resolved by uninstalling the entire agent suite, rebooting and reinstalling it. Doing the same just for the balloon driver didn't work. regards, John On 13/11/14 07:35, John Gardeniers wrote: I'm seeing it for a VM that most definitely does have the balloon driver installed.

Re: [ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable
I also recently started getting these errors. They started when I upgraded from 3.4.0 to 3.4.2. The error appears on certain VMs (but not all) consistently every 15 minutes. It doesn't matter if the "Memory Balloon Device Enabled" checkbox checked or unchecked. I got the message to stop appearing by changing the value of Physical Memory Guaranteed to match the VMs configured memory.

Re: [ovirt-users] Balloon driver unavailable
That works because you have effectively disabled ballooning for the VM, which is not really solving the underlying problem. regards, John On 18/11/14 10:02, Groten, Ryan wrote: I also recently started getting these errors.
