Hello,

We have noticed that the memory balloon feature on Citrix XenServer 6.5 does
not work for guest RHEL/CentOS 6.X with default kernel 2.6.32.XX.

A bugzilla ticket has beeb opened with  RedHat but they have come with a
answer as Citrix XenServer is not a certified hypervisor for RHEL6.

Regards,
Kiran A.

we have created a RHEL6 guest with 4 VCPUS then memory static min as 4 
GB and memory static as 8 GB and memory target as 6 GB. In this case we 
can change the balloon target to 5 GB which works but if we change the 
balloon target to 7 GB, it balloon memory only till initial startup 
value which is 6 GB.

This is a bug in the guest kernel.  It does not allow it to increase its
memory above it's initial allocation.
