[SOLVED] Not showing correct Ram for vm?

[killmasta93]

Hi,
I was wondering if someone else has this issue, so i have proxmox on 5.4.3 with pfsense i gave it 4 gigs of ram to the vm but on pfSense it shows only 1 gig of ram? any ideas?

Thank you

Hi,
I guess you have enabled memory hotplug.
If yes FreeBSD is not able to use this out of the box.

to verify please send the config.

cat /etc/pve/qemu-server/<vmid>.config

Disable Hotplug CPU and memory this makes no sense with a router VM.

thanks for the reply, hmm odd i dont remember activating the hotplug for ram and CPU, im going to deactivate later today as im guessing i need to turn off the firewall or could i do it while it on?

For this change, you have to turn off the VM and start it again.
The kvm process must be killed to start with these new parameters.

thanks your right disable those two so odd that it had it activated, so in theory its not good to have the hotplug activated?
