Hi all,
I'm testing the memory hotplugging on devstack (ocata version).
According to the article in
https://medium.com/@juergen_thomann/memory-hotplug-with-qemu-kvm-and-libvirt-558f1c635972
,
I'm trying to create a virtual machine by setting <maxMemory>.
However, I've got an error message in libvirt log as below.
2017-07-20 20:33:21.175+0000: 529: error :
virDomainDefCheckUnsupportedMemoryHotplug:1192 : unsupported configuration:
memory hotplug tunables <maxMemory> are not supported by this hypervisor
driver
virt-aa-helper: error: could not parse XML
virt-aa-helper: error: could not get VM definition
I'm using qemu hypervisor (2.8), and libvirt (2.5.0).
As I know, these qemu, libvirt versions support hotplugging memory.
Below is the xml file I used to create a virtual machine by using 'virsh
create test.xml' command.

Does anyone know the reason?
Thanks,
