Subject: Question about vcpu_avail
Date: Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:02:44 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B0AA414.3090109@redhat.com> (raw)
Hi,
I would like to ask about vcpu_avail variable in XendDomainInfo.py. Is
that variable working and what is it used for ? I think it's a bitmask
showing what VCPUs are used and what are not, am I correct? Also, I'm
thinking of adding some variable of `maxvcpus` to define maximum number
of vcpus for PV guests. This way we could define a config file like:
vcpus = 2
maxvcpus = 4
and by setting `xm vcpu-set {domain} {numberOfVCPUs}` we can set up to 4
vcpus. Current behavior is to set to 1 vcpu and back to 2 vcpus but
never to cross the number defined in of vcpus. Now we could be able to
allocate up to 4 vcpus to the guest and not just 2... What do you think
about that idea?
Thanks,
Michal
