[pve-devel] pve-manager : expose balloon to gui

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

oh, I found my ballon devices twice in windows....(don't know if it's because of an upgrade of the balloon code...)

I have delete both, then restart, windows detect it and reinstall it cleanly,

and now it's working

(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval
{u'return': 0}
(QEMU) qom-set path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval value=10
{u'return': {}}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval
{u'return': 10}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stat-free-memory
{u'return': 2147483647}
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stat-total-memory
{u'return': 2147483647}



I'll do test with win2008R2 tomorrow

I have just redone tests on my win2003, with last pve-qemu-kvm, it doesn't work anymore .... 

(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval 
{u'return': 0} 
(QEMU) qom-set path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval value=10 
{u'return': {}} 
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-polling-interval 
{u'return': 10} 
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stat-free-memory 
{u'error': {u'class': u'GenericError', u'desc': u"timer hasn't been enabled or guest doesn't support 'stat-free-memory'"}} 
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stats-last-update 
{u'return': 1355842494} 
(QEMU) qom-get path=/machine/peripheral/balloon0 property=stat-total-memory 
{u'error': {u'class': u'GenericError', u'desc': u"timer hasn't been enabled or guest doesn't support 'stat-total-memory'"}} 
(QEMU) 


... 

it was working fine with qemu 1.3 + 2 firsts balloon stats patchs from qemu mailing. 

Maybe something have changed ?

I'll do some tests with win2008. 

(I was also sending stats-polling-interval each second with pvestatd because I didn't work at start, but I think you have corrected that) 


Does manual balloning work ? Is it only a stats problem ?

I tested with w2008r2 and win8 - but I can't get that to work. 

balloon driver is loaded, and blnsrv is running - but no stats :-/
