Hi guys, despite reading hours and hours in the internet i'm still struggling with "memory", "currentmemory" and "maxMemory". Maybe you can help me to sort it out. My idea is that a guest has an initial value of memory (which "memory" seems to be) when booting. We have some Windows 10 guests which calculate some stuff and i would like to increase memory during runtime until it reaches a fixed maximum value. My hope was that a higher "maxMemory" could solve this, that the guest claims more memory and gets it. I didn't get it. Is my idea wrong ? Do i need a balloon driver for that ? What i find concerning ballooning is that it doesn't work automatically but has to be adjusted manually. Is that right ? Balloon drivers for windows are available. Is my idea right, does that work basically ? If yes how do i have to set the parameters ? Is the memory released after the guest has e.g. finished his calculation ? Does that work automatically or do i have to adjust that manually ? Thanks.
