<br>
i've tested profitbricks some time ago - this features really
working, but they have written their on kvm patches and you need
also a custom Kernel for your guest VMs. currently, only
increasing cpus/memory is possible...<br>

I think you need a really recent kernel for guest.
and also recent udev
(I think that hotplugged memory need to be "onlined" through sysfs, maybe you can do it manually without udev)

not these are not the problems.
The dimms are advertised to the system but don't work.

Do you have also updated seabios ?

<pre wrap="">
i could fix the "error" by using
-m 2048,slots=32,maxmem=64G
instead of
-m 2048,slots=32,maxmem=65536
seems it wants a XG value for maxmem.
Now adding memory and adding a new dimm device does not give an error
anymore but there's also nothing happending inside the guest.
I applied:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/292614/">http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/292614/</a>
and have then done
make bios in the rom directory of qemu

Could be interesting to see if they use acpi hotplug.
If yes, they should have somewhere an udev rules for memory hotplug. (and cpu hotplug too)
something like:"
"
# Hotplug physical memory
SUBSYSTEM=="memory", ACTION=="add", TEST=="state", ATTR{state}=="offline", \
ATTR{state}="online"
"
maybe can you try to remove the udev rules, reboot, try to change memory size, and see if it's working or not

Yes these rules exist and they use acpi hot plug.

cpu hot del is not yet implemented. (but they are some prelimary patches in the qemu mailing list)
memory hotplug is not yet implemented. (should be ok for next qemu 2.0 release I think)
But maybe they are cheating, like I do : just use ballonning with a fixed size ?

Objet: [pve-devel] CPU and Memory hot add
Hi,
while browsing the web, i found profitbricks, which is active in germany
and the us (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.profitbricks.com/technical-info">http://www.profitbricks.com/technical-info</a>).
They use KVM and offer memory and cpu hot add on the fly? Anybody an
idea how this works if kvm does not already support it?
Greets,
Stefan
