Hi All,
There are few threads regarding this subject of being unable to create more guests due to lack of RAM. So I am aware how the sum works.. add 8.5% to whatever is allocated, be that the host or guest. But I'm not sure if I have a hardware issue with memory or what I see is correct as I am new to HPVM. I have 98GB of memory on a quad CPU system. I have started up 33 guests all configured with 1024M RAM, now when I try to start another it comes back with an error..
HPVM guest sfd-ec3 configuration problems:
Warning 1: There is insufficient free host memory for this guest.
These problems may prevent HPVM guest sfd-ec3 from starting.
hpvmstart: Unable to continue.
I'll list a couple of other things which will hopefully help you to help me.. please?

For me it appears that I have lots of RAM available, well at least 49GB.
Any ideas?
Thanks very much, Eric
