RAM allocation under KVM (SOLVED)
Testing 2 KVM's with same provider, both with 2GB RAM, running same OS (Ubuntu 12.10). Both VMs to serve as DB cluster nodes with max RAM caching, so RAM is very important. Interestingly, SolusVM CP shows 2GB RAM for both, but checking RAM using 'free -m' shows 2 very different results:
KVM-1 # free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 2003 331 1671 0 31 232
-/+ buffers/cache: 67 1935
Swap: 0 0 0
KVM-2 # free -m
total used free shared buffers cached
Mem: 995 326 668 0 36 233
-/+ buffers/cache: 57 937
Swap: 0 0 0
Am I reading this wrong, or does KVM-2 come with only 1GB RAM ?
KVM-2 originally came with 1GB RAM and was later (supposedly - it seems?) upgraded to 2GB RAM. I don't see this as intentional, BTW... maybe a bug in SolusVM Admin ?

Yes. Did you reboot the 2nd one after the "upgrade"?
@rm_: OMG, so stupid of me... thanks, that solved it
