Hello and Happy New Year to you all.

I'm using ProxMoxVE 2.1 and I'm looking at upgrading physical RAM. I have calculated the amount of RAM assigned to my VM's (all KVM) but I'm having difficulty determining how much RAM is allotted to the host. Is this something that occurs dynamically or is there a setting somewhere that determines the amount of RAM assigned to the host?

I see in the GUI that when the node is selected it lists "Total:" and "Used:" in the "RAM Usage" section but I'm not sure if that pertains just to the VM's or if that includes the host.

Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
