Re: [Xen-users] Reserved Memory release

My problem, I want to turn off all the DomUs, and allocate all the ram back to Dom0. Even if I turn the DomU down, the memory still remains allocated to them.

No it doesn't. When you shut down a DomU then the memory it was using is returned to Xen's memory pool.

I think you need to describe your setup and problem in more detail.

How/where are you measuring free memory ?
Have you configured Dom0 to use a specific memory allocation (as is generally recommended) ?
What tools are you using ? Native Xen tools or some management layer on top ?
And of course, what versions/distro ?
