provision each server with 7GB RAM.
Hope this helps,

i need to create vms with 8 gb memory not 7gb
Found your problem.
Virtualizor only allows this for OpenVZ - at least this is the case with us. On full virtualization, just add more RAM or create smaller VMs.
Yes. as I have been working I have also found two alternate solutions.
only create 11 8gb vm
add more RAM
hope this helps,

Use esx/vmware, virtualizor is the wrong product for your use.
You need to add some virtual RAM to the server to do this.
Step 1: go to https://downloadmoreram.com/ .
Step 2: click download and select 32gb
Step 3: reboot server.
Hope this helps.
I thought you could overcommit ram with kvm? Or is the issue Windows?
the issue is virturalizor. and windows.
You will need ballooning with driver. But yeah, esx/vmware is best for this.
Have you tried turning it off and on again?
Not sure why you are getting so much sarcasm. There are legitimate reasons that don't involve overselling. I am pretty sure you can overcommit RAM on Solus KVM.
Windows runs like crap on it though. Doesn't seem to matter how much RAM you throw at it. Yes I use virtio. I'm sure SSD would help but probably still runs slow.
Windows is hungry for RAM, Even 500GB RAM is not enough.
If I am correct then Virtualizor only allow to over-commit disk space and not RAM (Not sure) and SolusVM allow you to over commit RAM and not disk. (sure)
I think the VM size is whatever the allocated disk size is on Solus, so no you can't overcommit storage because there is literally no more physical space than whatever the VM images are using.

the Disk Space cannot be oversold
Well if i installed ballooning driver on windows would that gonna help me
@virtualizor have you checked any solution for this yet ?
You are the kind of person that makes any new user on LET leave due to unnecessary trolling. I've had this issue before and is a confirmed bug with libvirt, something Virtualizor says they can't fix (I'm not sure if they investigated that much).
Is your OS CentOS 7 by any chance?
No, the issue is what he wants to do is not possible with Virturalizor. This was outlined in the first 5 comments. Alternate solutions were proposed
these are the only options. I don't see what the issue is
Use Hyper-V with dynamic memory.
my OS is centos 7 I noticed that after few hours ram usage is decreased to 20% when i have already created 12 Vms
Reinstall to CentOS 6 and see if it changes anything, Virtualizor is mainly built for 6 according to their staff.
unfortunately wholesaleinternet does not offer cent os 6
Virtualizor does allow to overcommit RAM for KVM.
At the time of creation of any VPS, Virtualizor will show you actual usage of RAM as seen on the host i.e. If all existing VMs consume 10GB of ram even though you have allotted 20GB, then virtualizor will show you available RAM on host node i.e. Total RAM - Used
Overselling RAM is a part of KVM. If the guest OS asks for RAM from the Host Node, the Host Node will give the RAM to the Guest VM.
Normally a Guest VM will take some extra RAM than actual consumption to utilize it when required.
Virtualizor works pretty well with CentOS 7 and KVM. We have quite a lot of nodes running CentOS 7 on KVM.
