The VE can use the memory supplied by the hardware node. It does not  
matter if the HW node uses RAM or SWAP beside performance. If the HW  
node does not use SWAP you simply have not *used* but maybe only  
reserved more then 2GB in sum (HW-node + VE). You can check  
/proc/meminfo on the HW-node to see how much of your RAM is used.
