RAM size limitation

[Emir Imamagic <ei...@srce.hr>]

Hello,

RAM field in computer table is set to smallint, meaning one cannot set 
RAM size to more than 64GB. This is a problem for ESXi machines with 
more that 64GB. In our case we have 256GB RAM per ESXi box and are 
planning to run ~100 VMs per box. However, once we start VMs up to 64MB, 
New reservation page simply says "Selection not available".

We changed it to mediumint:
  alter table computer modify RAM mediumint unsigned not null default 0;
and everything works like fine now.

Do you think you could include this in the next release?

Thanks

Emir,
Yes, this change has already been added to the code base, and it will be part of the next release.
