More than 4gb OpenVZ Memory

[si458]

Hi,

hoping someone can help me with this issue???

i have a server with 4gb of memory, and i have created a 64bit ubuntu 11.04 container which has 1Gb memory and 4Gb swap memory

and so in my mind the server then has 5gb of memory, correct?

but when i go into the container it only displays 4gb of memory???

is this because of my machine only having 4gb of memory or is it due to this i686 openvz-enterprise kernel or something

Cheers

post the output of 'pveversion -v' and send a link to the used template.

yes. (the openvz swap setting can't add more ram than you have).

I was using the templates downloaded through the webgui

Also no matter what template i use (centos,ubuntu,debian)
i still have the same issue

what issue? (with openvz, you can only use the RAM/swap you have on the Host)

Ah right ok thanks alot

I was looking at upgrading my server memory to the max of 8gb

If i do this do i have to reinstall the proxmox all over again???

No, there is no need to reinstall if you add more memory to the server.
