This document explains how to use the memory hotplug feature in QEMU,
|
||||
which is present since v2.1.0.

|

Please, note that memory hotunplug is not supported yet. This means
|

that you're able to add memory, but you're not able to remove it.
|
||||
Also, proper guest support is required for memory hotplug to work.

RAM hot-unplug
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
In order to be able to hot unplug pc-dimm device, QEMU has to be told the ids
|
||||
of pc-dimm device and memory backend object. The ids were assigned when you hot
|
||||
plugged memory.
|
||||
|
||||
Two monitor commands are used to hot unplug memory:
|
||||
|
||||
- "device_del": deletes a front-end pc-dimm device
|
||||
- "object_del": deletes a memory backend object
|
||||
|
||||
For example, assuming that the pc-dimm device with id "dimm1" exists, and its memory
|
||||
backend is "mem1", the following commands tries to remove it.
|
||||
|
||||
(qemu) device_del dimm1
|
||||
(qemu) object_del mem1
