Hi, I've fairly recently started using Openvz on a server I manage, and have
been very pleased with it thus far. Thank you for making this project freely
availble.

The server I am working with has a dual-core AMD64 cpu with 2 gigs of ram
with the sata hard-drives in a Raid 1. I've split up the config files using
vzsplit -n 12 -s 0 -f vps.mytest, evenly splitting up the hardware
resources.

In one of the vps's I'm running a database, in a few others I'm running some
web-based applications, etc...

Slowly I've been noticing different vps's are trying to allocate more than
their share of the resources occuring in counts to the user_beancounter
file.

So I'll go in an allocate more resources to the specified parameter of the
overreaching vps, and this seems to work fine.

But my question is, is this a good idea? If so how much "extra" resources
are recommended to allocate to these VPS's that want more? I am not wanting
to affect the stability of the other VPS's by allocating more than needed to
any one given VPS.

I guess I'm looking for suggestions/recommendeds on how other people deal
with this. Do I just need to allocate less total VPS's to this machine. As
well as possible pointers to better documentation on this than the User
Guide provides.

Thanks,

Romeo

The doc you need is http://wiki.openvz.org/UBC_systemwide_configuration
The utilities that will be helpful in this case are vzmemcheck and vzcalc.
