+Changing an instance's runtime memory
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+
+Ganeti will always make sure an instance has a value between its maximum
+and its minimum memory available as runtime memory. As of version 2.6
+Ganeti will only choose a size different than the maximum size when
+starting up, failing over, or migrating an instance on a node with less
+than the maximum memory available. It won't resize other instances in
+order to free up space for an instance.
+
+If you find that you need more memory on a node any instance can be
+manually resized without downtime, with the command::
+
+ $ gnt-instance modify -m %SIZE% %INSTANCE_NAME%
+
+The same command can also be used to increase the memory available on an
+instance, provided that enough free memory is available on its node, and
+the specified size is not larger than the maximum memory size the
+instance had when it was first booted (an instance will be unable to see
+new memory above the maximum that was specified to the hypervisor at its
+boot time, if it needs to grow further a reboot becomes necessary).
