Hi,

Is it possible to add hot memory support ?

Explanation :
In KVM you could define a current memory and a max memory. Trough virt-manager or virsh you can change the current memory between the current value and the max value. For example: virsh setmem myvm 5242880 (size is in kilobytes) will set myvm to 5G memory while the VM is running.

It would be nice to have the possibility to change this value trough webvirtmgr, maybe in the instance panel.

NB : you could do the same with CPU since RHEL 6.5

I agree. This would be a useful feature.
