Hello
2 of 3 of my xen nodes ( dom0) died tonight because of out of memory error.
These servers are only running Xen and cluster suite packages.
I googled the error and everything point out to dom0-min-mem and grub 
dom0_mem options

dom0-min-mem : I left it by default : (dom0-min-mem 256)

I read about on the internet but still do not understand this parameter 
and if if should be =0 on servers

any advice ?

tx !

here are some info about one server  :
