...SQL Server 2019. Proxmox behaves strangely, consuming 100% of memory, even though on Windows Server 2025 there is no significant memory usage observed. Some time ago, I had already opened a ticket regarding the same SQL Server performance issue. The VM is configured with virtio-win drivers...

...and didn't know that all given memory is fully taken from host when passthrough is used. When I set minimum memory same as maximum, host memory usage stays almost the same and VM sees 16GB as max memory instead of 8GB, so it makes sense that all given memory is fully taken from host, but...

I think this is more to do with reporting than ballooning, even the loarctl /r command is not helping in my case. Both these vms run exactly the same cad software with exactly same usage pattern but reporting of ram for one is stuck. VM and hypervisor restart don't have any effect.

you are using pcie passthrough. minimum and maximum memory doesnt make sense there as the host reserves the full 16gb anyway (see host memory usage on your screenshot). what happens if you set min and max both to 16gb?

Presumably you have ballooning enabled on the VMs if you are setting min/max. Is (was) the host over 80% RAM usage? If so then it will remove memory from the VMs as directed.

Thanks. Found a solution for the memory usage display issue (ballooning). But what's still not clear is why the mentioned VM now uses 1600% of memory compared to PVE8. What's obviously not a slight increase.

There's some variables to this (Guest OS, Ballooning, Passthrough, etc) but for linux guests PVE shows the memory cached by the VM too. This is discussed a lot. Also see here.

...to 4 GB it stays below 100%. My impression is that something's wrong here. Same with two W-Machines (shame on me, I know). I updated the QEMU agent, but it always shows 100% memory usage even if the guest itself reports only ~50%. Is something wrong with my configuration or is it a known...

Hi, I've recently upgraded from a 8300-8i to a 8600-24i, running proxmox 9.1.1, kernel 6.17.2-1-pve. First the good things: The card works without any issues and fully supports ASPM. I am able to reach even C10 without any issues (since this is a topic a lot of folks seem to be interested in)...

...my IO intensive task and while the IO delay in the GUI showed 15-20%, the SSH terminal remained responsive and no more swapping. The Memory usage is still quite high. I am not sure what takes so much memory. My containers are assigned 2.5GB and they use 15% - 20% of it (but were more than...

Hi everyone, I've monitored some vm's resource. I saw a weird thing. That is a difference between vm's memory resource of proxmox gui and inside of vm process manager. This phenomenon still persists. Could anyone explain why this difference exists? Thank you.

PVE 9.1.1 with vm win2008R2 the memory usage show correctly after install balloon service https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Dynamic_Memory_Management#Enable_Auto-Ballooning_on_Windows_2008r2 win2008r2 with virtio version 173

Ok, I have some news: My pfSense/OpenBSD VM and a Windows XP VM seem to have triggered ballooning - their mem usage went down significantly - despite showing "actual=1024 max_mem=1024" using "info balloon" in monitor. The mentioned Windows Server 2k8 machine is still at 104% mem usage. But...

Those will not report detailed memory usage. See https://pve.proxmox.com/wiki/Upgrade_from_8_to_9#VM_Memory_Consumption_Shown_is_Higher The old Win 2008 machine does not report back detailed memory info. What you need is to get the guest to return information like this: # info balloon balloon...

...operational. Occasionally, I can start a few more for testing, but it's infrequent. The disk space used is 27% (for the 45 VMs). As for memory usage, I don't recall ever exceeding 50%. The VMs are primarily Linux machines running in character mode. Sometimes I run one or two graphical VMs...
