Difference between "Max Memory" and "Used Memory"

[Jérôme Gallard <jeronimo974@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am new on this mailing list, so If I do something wrong, don't hesitate to tell me :-)

I am using the following version of libvirt :

Compiled against library: libvir 0.8.8

Using library: libvir 0.8.8

Using API: QEMU 0.8.8

Running hypervisor: QEMU 0.14.0

I would like to understand the difference between "Max Memory" and "Used Memory" returned by a "virsh dominfo" command. In my configuration both values are equal. This surprises me because my VM is not using all its memory. Perhaps I miss something ?

Thank you very much for your help.

Regards,

Jérôme
