      I just tried to change the memory for my F11 xen guest from 512 to 1024.
      After executing:

      xm mem-set workstation 1024

      xm list shows the memory still being 512.  Anyone else see this behavior
      before?  I tried other values as well - but the memory is still what it
      was when I created the VM...

      I'm running CentOS 5.4 on an i386...

 
You might have to use xm mem-max to set the maximum memory for the guest prior 
to using xm mem-set.  Also, if you look at the man page for xm, you will see 
the following for mem-set:

"Because this operation requires cooperation from the domain operating system, there 
is no guarantee that it will succeed.  This command will definitely not work unless the 
domain has the required paravirt driver."

So, there is no guarantee that you can increase/decrease the ram of a guest 
without restarting it.
