  • Cannot set up guest memory error DO407 chapter 12

    Posted on

    When doing the guided exercise I get the following error...

    [root@tower webapp]# vagrant up
    Bringing machine 'default' up with 'libvirt' provider...
    ==> default: Starting domain.
    There was an error talking to Libvirt. The error message is shown
    below:
    
    Call to virDomainCreateWithFlags failed: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: Cannot set up guest memory 'pc.ram': Cannot allocate memory
    

    Looking this error up says that I don't have enough RAM.

    Sure enough, I don't

    [root@tower webapp]# free -m
                  total        used        free      shared  buff/cache   available
    Mem:           1839        1216         144          38         478         375
    Swap:             0           0           0
    

    Anyway to get more ram? or at least NOT run VMs on the same machine you're running Tower with postgres?
