Description of problem: Try adjusting a kvm guests RAM allocation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libvirt-0.3.1-2.fc7.x86_64 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run virt-manager 2. Try adjusting RAM for an existing KVM guest. Actual results: [jon@damaestro ~]$ virt-manager libvir: error : this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainSetMaxMemory Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/details.py", line 448, in config_memory_apply self.vm.set_max_memory(memory*1024) File "/usr/share/virt-manager/virtManager/domain.py", line 626, in set_max_memory self.vm.setMaxMemory(memory) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 321, in setMaxMemory if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainSetMaxMemory() failed', dom=self) libvirt.libvirtError: virDomainSetMaxMemory() failed this function is not supported by the hypervisor: virDomainSetMaxMemory Expected results: RAM allocation changes or is not offered as being able to change. Additional info:
This is not a bug in libvirt. This is a limitation of KVM virtualization - it has no support for changing guest RAM allocation on the fly.
