[one-users] Share host with non-opennebula VMs

[Carlos Martín Sánchez]

Hi,

OpenNebula will only monitor and manage VMs created through it, it will not
interfere with your existing VMs.

But because OpenNebula assumes exclusive use of the hosts, the scheduler
won't take into account the resources used by the previous VMs. You can
however set manually how much host memory is reserved for the hypervisor
and your VMs with the HYPERVISOR_MEM attribute in /etc/one/sched.conf [1].
