Hi Team

We had an issue where a vm crashed with hot memory enabled.

Is there a fix for this issue, apart from disabling hot add memory in an future releases?

Many Thanks and sorry if this has alredy been answered.
 
Some more details would be good to help you troubleshoot. Adding new memory on the fly while the VM is running is an operation that the guest OS must support as well.

- What guest OS?
- VM config? → qm config {vmdi} and then post the output within [CODE][/CODE] tags or use the buttons at the top of the editor.
