Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to virtualization and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and computer program product for monitoring and managing memory used in a virtualized computing environment. In this regard, a method for monitoring and managing memory used by a virtual machine in a virtualized computing environment can include counting page fault occurrences in a guest operating system (OS) executing in the VM, pinning additional physical memory to the VM along with initiating a hot-add event to the guest OS executing in the VM, responsive to exceeding a page fault allowance threshold in order to mitigate system degradation in the VM based on page fault occurrences.
A method for monitoring and managing memory used by a virtual machine (VM) in a virtualized computing environment in order to mitigate system degradation based on page fault occurrences comprising:
A virtualization data processing system comprising:
A computer program product for monitoring and managing memory used by a virtual machine (VM) in a virtualized computing environment in order to mitigate system degradation based on page fault occurrences, the computer program product comprising a computer usable medium having computer usable code embodied therewith, the computer usable code comprising:
