Hi, I have updated to CS 4.2 (not sure that my problem has to do anything with that...) I have RAM overprovisioning level of 2 on Cluster level.
And after I start VM with compute ofering of 2GHZ (1x2gHz) and 2GB of ram, it does invoke qemu-kvm with good parameters (2048M), but inside my VM when doing top, or free -m, it reports rougly 50% of that amount: Here is the ps axu | grep vname #from host on which VM is running: root 17264 5.9 2.1 3447568 1090636 ?

Not sure what is happening, has to do something with RAM overprovisioning factor ? How is this possible, when qemu-kvm parameteres seems fine (-m 2048) Thanks, -- Andrija Panić
