Additional Configparameters as Default: ballooning

[argonius]

Hi,

i want proxmox to put into every kvm guests config:
args: -balloon virtio

Is there any possibility to tell proxmox to use additional config parameters for every guest? maybe /etc/default/kvm or such one?

Thanks,

Patrick

You can directly set that with the balloon option.

see 'man vm.conf'

but i am not able to set this during vm creation via web ui?

This is CLI only.

i set the value in the vmid.conf with: balloon: 1024
the vm max memory is 2048mb, the balloon driver have been installed (windows 2008 r2)
i check the task manager the memory usage is 2048mb, my maximum memory
in the monitor section, i check with info balloon, it return balloon 203
then, run balloon 1024 in monitor section, all are ok, oh, why ?!

ballooning will be in 2.3. if you can´t wait, use the packages from pvetest and test again.
