Hello,

Does Xen allow the RAM overcomittment? Like other virtualisationsolution (openVz, vserver).


A typical example is :

5 Domu who use normally 30MB of RAM but can reach (in fullutilisation) for a slice of time 150MB of RAM. I only have 512MBinstalled on my workstation. Can I run these VM's or I need moreRAM : 5 X 150MB for VM's + 128 for Dom0 = 878 MB of RAM..


is this case possible?

Thank you.
