Host unlock failed : Allocated memory excceed than node0 total memory

[Navanath Navaskar]

Description:
------------
I am trying to install AIO-simplex on KVM.
I have created 8 NUMA nodes with 1 CPU each and 4GB RAM to each Node on this machine.

After successful install of ISO and Bootstrap, when I try to unlock controller-0 it gives me below error.

Rejected: Total allocated memory exceeds the total memory of controller-0 numa node 0 : ClientSideError: Rejected: Total allocated memory exceeds the total memory of controller-0 numa node 0

In /sys/devices/system/node/node0/meminfo file TotalMemory is showing " Node 0 MemTotal: 3880820 kB" which is less than 4GB.

Allocated in log says 4600 MB. Why more than 4 GB?

What should I do to make this work?
Why this issue is coming?

Please help me in this.

Suggest to post your question to the stx-discuss mailing list. This is likely a configuration/environment issue as opposed to a StarlingX software issue.
