Re: [Xen-users] vcpus and the virtual machine manager

[Diego Dave <diego.dave.s@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

"vcpus" option set the virtual cpus, not the physical cpus to use.

If your server have 8 cpus, they are numbered from 0 to 7.

If you want to assign the last 4 physical cpus, you must add to the
DomU cfg file the option "cpus = '4-7'. Then you can see the assigning
using "xm vcpu-list" in command line.

Is very good practice to manage the cpu assigning, it increases the
performance of VMs, and avoid problems when sharing cpus, like
freezing because of I/O events.

Regards,

Diego
