Xen users - Jul 2006 - creating a domain with less memory and then growing it.

Is there a way to start a domain with a small amount of memory, and 
then grow it later?

I tried:

memory="512"
extra="mem=4096M"

but it didn''t seem to allow me to mem-set above 512. .

I can create with:

memory="4096"

then

   xm mem-set 512

to get in the desired state.  then I can mem-set up and down from there.
but I''lld like to start out in that state if possible.  Is their 
another way
other than mem-set after creating?

Thanks.

I would also like to know the answer to this question.  It seems odd
that you can make the memory grow beyond what is specified in the config
form dom0, but the domU appears not to know anything about it''s extra
memory - what''s the reasoning behind that?  It seems rather illogical
to
me that you can start a domain with X memory, and shink it, then grow it
again - but not beyond that X value.

Could someone  explain this for us?

Kind Regards,

Ian
