Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization now uses MOM (Memory Overcommit Manager) to directly control KSM (kernel same-page merging) configurations on hypervisor nodes. A new web interface option instructs MOM to enable or disable KSM for all hosts contained within a specific Cluster.

Description Amador Pahim 2013-11-05 19:17:10 UTC 
Up to RHEV 3.2, KSM was controlled by ksmtuned. Users wanting stop KSM just wanted to stop ksmtuned service in each host.

In RHEV 3.3, vdsm stops ksmtuned and gives KSM control to MOM. MOM controls KSM and memory ballooning.

We can disable memory ballooning using RHEV Admin Portal interface, unchecking "Enable Memory Balloon Optimization" on Cluster level, which will have effect in next Host "Up".

Please provide the equivalent way to disable KSM using Admin Portal (and API as well).
