Memory could be hotplugged in following steps:
- 1) dom0: xl mem-max <domU> <maxmem>
+ 1) target domain: ensure that memory auto online policy is in
+ effect by checking /sys/devices/system/memory/auto_online_blocks
+ file (should be 'online').
+
+ 2) control domain: xl mem-max <target-domain> <maxmem>
where <maxmem> is >= requested memory size,
- 2) dom0: xl mem-set <domU> <memory>
+ 3) control domain: xl mem-set <target-domain> <memory>
where <memory> is requested memory size; alternatively memory
could be added by writing proper value to
/sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target or
- /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on dumU,
+ /sys/devices/system/xen_memory/xen_memory0/target_kb on the
+ target domain.
- 3) domU: for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
- [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
+ Alternatively, if memory auto onlining was not requested at step 1
+ the newly added memory can be manually onlined in the target domain
+ by doing the following:
- Memory could be onlined automatically on domU by adding following line to udev rules:
+ for i in /sys/devices/system/memory/memory*/state; do \
+ [ "`cat "$i"`" = offline ] && echo online > "$i"; done
+
+ or by adding the following line to udev rules:
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", RUN+="/bin/sh -c '[ -f /sys$devpath/state ] && echo online > /sys$devpath/state'"
- In that case step 3 should be omitted.
