There isn't any guest configuration in /etc/xen since F8 or F7. Memory for guest can be set in libvirt[1]

  • Dump XML config if 'virsh edit' is not available (i.e. on F8 libvirt-0.4.4)
virsh shutdown f11
virsh dumpxml f11 > f11.xml
  • Add currentMemory parameter which defines minimum memory given to guest at boot.
<memory>1048576</memory>
<currentMemory>524288</currentMemory>
  • Enact this guest config in Xen via libvirt.
virsh define f11.xml
virsh start f11
  • See that free -m in guest now reports 519 total.
