[Xen-devel] Problem with setmaxmem()

[Amitayu Das <amitayudas@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,




I'm having problem in reducing the memory-size for Dom0. I got it
running after compiling the
xen-unstable source code on FC4. The domain0 starts fine and I can
start DomU also. Initially, Dom0 starts with default memory (although
I'm not sure what that is). However, if I get the following when trying
to reduce the memory-size for Dom0 as I needed more memory for the
DomU's.




#xm list
Name

    ID           Mem(MiB) VCPUs  State  Time(s)
Domain-0     0      581     1          r----- 12353.5
# xm mem-max 0 384
Error: domain_setmaxmem() takes no keyword arguments

I tried to set a lower value of memory-size (384MB) by putting that value inside grub entry, which did not help.

tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc/xc.c has got the definition of pyxc_domain_setmaxmem() as

static PyObject *pyxc_domain_setmaxmem(XcObject *self, PyObject *args) [** note that no keywords in the list of parameters]

although,  /usr/lib/python/xen/xend/XendDomain.py is using this function as

        try:
            return xc.domain_setmaxmem(dominfo.getDomid(),
                                       maxmem_kb = maxmem) [** note that keywords are being sent as arguments]

Since, the things are not matching, is this a bug or am I missing something. Please help........

Thanks,
Amitayu
