Hi! I still have this problem. We added an additional server to this cluster last week, but it is not being used. ACS tries to start the VM on the first (full) server and aborts, while the new empty server is being ignored. Now I'll migrate some VMs manually to the new server, but I assume that's not the way it is meant to be...

However, it is expected that the VMs launch is retried on other available host in cluster.

(sorry for the delay, was on vacation). I have never heard of XenServer having this limitation, and have also never experienced it (We use XenServer w/o ACS heavily for several years now, but I never ran into this issue). I also found nothing conclusive... can you provide some documentation on this limitation? I'll try to evacuate and reboot the host, that might "reset" the stats and help.

Just keep in mind, that Xen partitions memory and - after long run - could not assign a contiguous block, even if the sum of all segemented blocks is greater. It depends on the version (and if you're brave on different tmem settings) how reorganization is managed. Long story short: put the particular host in maintenance, reboot it and get it back into your ACS. cheers, Stephan Am Freitag, den 10.07.2015, 18:02 +0200 schrieb Martin Emrich: > Hi! > > Am 10.07.2015 um 16:42 schrieb Timothy Lothering: > > Hi Martin, > > > > From the logs it seems that ACS has found that the host has sufficient > > memory capacity, but when it deploys it, it seems there is not enough.
