             Summary: Ensure XStools to be there in template inorder to enable 
dynamic scaling of vm
                 Key: CLOUDSTACK-2987
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-2987
             Project: CloudStack
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Anyone can view this level - this is the default.)
          Components: Management Server
    Affects Versions: 4.2.0, Future
            Reporter: Harikrishna Patnala
            Assignee: Harikrishna Patnala
             Fix For: 4.2.0


XS tools need to be installed on the guest vm for Xenserver for memory dynamic 
scaling and over provisioning to work.
XStools contain baloon drivers that are required to dynamically manipulate the 
memory attributes (dynamic max/min). If they are altered at run time without 
these tools, it can lead to unstable behavior for vm and  potential crash. Both 
for memory dynamic scaling and over provisioning this is required. 

So we need to be able to ensure whether xstools are installed on the template 
based on the user inputs while registering the template and use the same to set 
different memory/cpu values to make dynamic scaling work.
