Dom0 Memory Ballooning
----------------------
For some server deployments it may be best to dedicate a fixed amount of RAM
rather than relying on dom0 ballooning. The amount of RAM dedicated to dom0
should never be less than the recommended minimum amount for running your SUSE
distribution in native mode. The actual amount of RAM needed for dom0 will
depend on how much physical RAM your host contains and the number of VMs you
plan on running simultaneously. The following example shows the syntax for
doing this. This would be added to your grub1 or grub2 configuration;
It is strongly recommended that you dedicate a fixed amount of RAM to dom0
rather than relying on dom0 auto ballooning. Doing so will ensure your dom0
has enough resources to operate well and will improve startup times for your
VMs. The amount of RAM dedicated to dom0 should never be less than the
recommended minimum amount for running your SUSE distribution in native mode.
The actual amount of RAM needed for dom0 depends on several factors including
how much physical RAM is on the host, the number of physical CPUs, and the
number of VMs running simultaneously where each VM has a specific requirement
for RAM. The following example shows the syntax for doing this. This would be
added to your grub1 or grub2 configuration;
Grub2 Example:
Edit /etc/default/grub and add,
