KVM virtual machine fail to start with error "Cannot allocate memory"
Issue
We have developed scripts to deploy the virtual machine settings, but on a server we are having a problem never seen before. A VM already created successfully in the past can not be started. When tying to start the virtual machine using virsh the following message is shown:
virsh # start RHEL6.3
error: Failed to start domain RHEL6.3
error: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer
