Hello,
Well I have created a new virtual machine using virt-manager (hypervisor
Qemu-KVM). Now earlier I had allocated 256MB RAM to the virtual machine.
Now when I try to change it from right clicking the VM (in the list
shown by virt-manager) and selecting details , hardware , memory and
decreasing it to 128MB it doesn't update it. It shows the updated value
in Hardware->Memory but when I apply it , it doesn't get updated in
Virt-manager main windows VM Lists. So when I restart virt-manager I am
still shown 256MB RAM in the main window and also in
Details>Hardware>Memory.
Can't I change the memory limit after creating the VM. It's a redhat
enterprise 5 Fully virtualized guest.
And if I can't change it then how can I edit the RAM limits in
Details>Hardware>Memory.
Hi.
Unfortunately, you can't modify the vcpus or memory for a fully
virtualized guest while it's running. If virt-manager is letting you do
that, that's a bug, we should fix it (I assume the guest is running when
you do this?).
If the guest is shut down, you should be able to edit the memory
settings and have the changes persist -- is that the case?
