Hi
I have Proxmox Server With 192GB RAM. (Usable 181GB)
I have a question. I don't have any swap.
In my server when I was use approximate 155-165GB Proxmox GUI-SSH not working. I have to restart the server for it to work again.
What is the usable limit on Proxmox?
Example when I was using VMware Esx I can you use %99 of memory.

Thank you.
 
normally you can use all (besides ~2GB for the host)
do you run zfs? if yes, zfs can use up to half of your host memory if you do not tune it

best check with a tool like htop/free or monitoring what is using the ram
