When I was new on xen I had this very problem, that I was not able to figure out what is the actual amount of physical ram on xen host i.e Dom0. So sharing this little tip here for newbies that might be starting.
use “xm top” command to find out the actual physical ram.
Hope this will be helpful for someone.

Nice, but do you know of another way of displaying the total that just prints the value to the screen? xm top is unusable for scripting purposes, unfortunately.

xm info | grep memory
total_memory : 16383
free_memory : 124

This is really the 3rd blog, of your blog I personally read through.
And yet I actually like this specific one, “How to view actual physical memory available on xen host
Azaad Source” the most. Thanks -Zandra
