cockpit_import_vm.png

Try to import vm from cockpit, set the vm memory size over 2GiB, but it always fails to create vm as "The selected Operating System has minimum memory requirement of 2 GiB".

Comment 1 Katerina Koukiou 2020-01-03 11:19:08 UTC
From the screenshot and the details you pasted above it's clear that the dialog has wrong information regarding the memory that it's available on the host.
This is probably because of a bug that we fixed on 210 where we were not checking the memory from all cells with VIR_NODE_MEMORY_STATS_ALL_CELLS when fetching the available memory on the system.
That was recently fixed with:


commit 95b814bb361febb4caa86ffb91705c0881a06081
Author: Michael Zamot <7987869+mzamot.github.com>

    machines: Use all cells when getting Host Max Memory
    
    Closes #13300

$ git describe 95b814bb361febb4caa86ffb91705c0881a06081

If that fix does not work for you please re-open the bug.

Comment 3 Xianghua Chen 2020-01-15 08:28:10 UTC
Verified with packages:
cockpit-machines-210-1.el8.noarch
libvirt-dbus-1.2.0-3.module+el8.1.0+4066+0f1aadab.x86_64

Steps:
1. Reserve a env with 2 cpu in Beaker with parameters:
System/Arch contains x86_64
CPU/Sockets greater than 1
2. Install cockpit and set up env:
# yum install cockpit* libvirt* -y
# systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket
# systemctl enable --now libvirtd
# firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit
# firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent
3. Check the memory on the host:
# free -h
              total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
Mem:           62Gi       1.0Gi        58Gi        17Mi       2.5Gi        60Gi
Swap:          27Gi          0B        27Gi
4. Open the cockpit web console, click Create VM /Import VM, the Max Memory is the same as the total memory in step 3.

So verified.
