I have a xen server setup that I want to install a lot of vms on if

We were running into a problem were the dom0 would not let us add
anymore vms because we were out of physical memory.
I have started to read about memory ballooning and hoping someone
could point me in the right direction. If my understanding is
correct, ballooning will increase the vm memory if needed up to a
maxmem setting. And can decrease memory if requested by the dom0.
Is this an automatic process, or do I have to manually issue a
command to increase/decrease the domU memory? The command I know
about is:
> xm mem-set <Domain> <Mem>
There is no automatic process for increasing guest memory, yet. As
Mark mentioned yesterday there are some patches floating around to do
this if someone wants to try it out.
xenballoond was committed to xen-unstable for the next release. It was
designed for pretty much this exact reason.
