I am afraid this issue has nothing to do with Cloudstack. If VM "sees" maximum memory size available instead of effective -- this is problem of hypervisor and/or guest utilities. Do you have guest utilities that come with XenServer version or older in your template?

Ok. After rebooting the instance still no change after disabling globally. I modified all my templates to remove 'Dynamic Scalable', then I have to shutdown every instance and unselect 'Dynamic Scalable', then restart for it to be correct.

This may need to be looked at closer for a Windows/XenDesktop(XenApp) environment as MS SQL will consume all the RAM windows sees.

My other question is why CCP 4.3 (which is certified for Citrix Ready for IaaS for XD) didn't have this issue until I upgraded to 4.3.0.2 in July. This feature was released in 4.2.....

Thanks for all the help.

Just funny that on CCP 4.3 it wasn't an issue and only after upgrading to 4.3.0.2 and a host reboot did it change my instances.

This issue is that the instance below is a SQL server. As Windows see 32GB, it shows the used RAM in windows as 31.6GB. The Server only has 8GB. That is what really is the issue. Causing slowness for my users.

I have set 'enable.dynamic.scale.vm' to false and restarted cloudstack-management. I will reboot an instance that is out of prod and let you know the results.

Hello Todd,

If I understood you correctly, you wonder why you have static max as 4x of the offering, isn't it? This article should answer your question:

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+scaling+of+CPU+and+RAM#DynamicscalingofCPUandRAM-Xenserver [5] <https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+scaling+of+CPU+and+RAM#DynamicscalingofCPUandRAM-Xenserver [5]>

Look chapter for XenServer changes. As it is stated there: static max = f_min (4 * service_offering) / memory_overprovisioning_of_cluster

Regards,

Vadim.

Just wondering if anyone has seen similar. I already have a case open. But seeing if the forum has an answer? Issue, Upgraded to CCP 4.3.0.2 back in July. Afterwards everything was great. Hosts rebooted two weeks ago. Any instance built with a template with Dynamic Scalable set to yes, shows in XenCenter as min/max memory as what system offering is but has a Static Max of 4x the RAM.
Screen shot of instance built from template with Dynamic Scalable = yes

Anyone aware if this is fixed in CCP/ACS 4.5.1? Has anyone seen this?
The XenServer Hosts are patched through XS62ESP1027.
