Hello Hans,

please have a look at the manual, section 4.9.1 "Memory ballooning" and
commands like

VBoxManage controlvm "VM name" guestmemoryballoon 

VBoxManage modifyvm "VM name" --guestmemoryballoon 

There is also a frontend called VBoxBalloonCtrl in our tree which can be
used to control those values. This also could act as an example about
how to use ballooning / the API.

Hope this helps,


Yes that was very helpful. Thank you.

Now that I know there is such a good manual I also managed to
test the heartbeat functionality without needing to ask for help :)

Regards,

Hans
