Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
The startup time for virtual machines with large memory is slow on IBM POWER8 hosts. Therefore the default maximum memory was decreased to 1TB so the delay in the start up time was not noticeable. To change the default value, use the engine configuration tool with the VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB key.

Description of problem:
I tested memory hot plug on PPC with VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB: 
512GB,510GB and 256BG
Setup:

Results:
1. With 512GB and 510GB: The VM failed to run:
"VM golden_env_mixed_virtio_0 is down with error. Exit message: Lost connection with qemu process."
2. With 256GB: test PASSSED


Attached engine, vdsm, qeum logs


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEVM 3.6.0.12 :
Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager Version: 3.6.0-0.15.master.el6
VDSM:  vdsm-4.17.6-1.el7ev
Libvirt: libvirt-1.2.17-8.el7


How reproducible:
All the time
Comment 2 Israel Pinto 2015-09-16 09:12:26 UTC 
Yes,
[root@ibm-p8-rhevm-03 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i slof
SLOF-20150313-3.gitc89b0df.el7.noarch
Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2015-09-17 07:39:51 UTC 
so this becomes a TestOnly once the qemu package is out (bug 1263039)
Comment 5 Israel Pinto 2015-10-22 13:30:31 UTC 
Verify with rhevm on ppc env:
RHEVM Version: 3.6.0-0.18.el6
vdsm version: vdsm-4.17.8-1.el7ev
libvirt version: libvirt-1.2.17-12.el7
Scenario:
1. Create VM with 1G
2. hot plug memory 1G/2G/256M
3. Check in VM memory status with free
4. Migrate VM

All cases pass.
