>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7857
>             Project: CloudStack
>          Issue Type: Bug
>      Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the default.) 
>    Affects Versions: 4.3.0, 4.4.0, 4.5.0, 4.3.1, 4.4.1, 4.6.0
>            Reporter: Joris van Lieshout
>            Priority: Critical

> We have hosts with 256GB memory and 4GB dom0. During startup ACS calculates available memory using this formula:
> CitrixResourceBase.java
> 	protected void fillHostInfo
> 		ram = (long) ((ram - dom0Ram - _xs_memory_used) * _xs_virtualization_factor);
> In our situation:
> 	ram = 274841497600
> 	dom0Ram = 4269801472
> 	_xs_memory_used = 128 * 1024 * 1024L = 134217728
> 	_xs_virtualization_factor = 63.0/64.0 = 0,984375
> 	(274841497600 - 4269801472 - 134217728) * 0,984375 = 266211892800
> This is in fact not the actual amount of memory available for instances. The difference in our situation is a little less then 1GB. On this particular hypervisor Dom0+Xen uses about 9GB.
> As the comment above the definition of XsMemoryUsed allready stated it's time to review this logic. 
> "//Hypervisor specific params with generic value, may need to be overridden for specific versions"
> The effect of this bug is that when you put a hypervisor in maintenance it might try to move instances (usually small instances (<1GB)) to a host that in fact does not have enought free memory.
