Thanks Eric and Hi Wen. I did use <vcpupin> now . This is that part of my config xml file : <vcpu>3</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='0-2'/> </cputune> This shows the vcpu affinity : [root@hgcc11 cloning_script]# virsh vcpuinfo rubis_ws VCPU: 0 CPU: 2 State: running CPU time: 5.6s CPU Affinity: yyyy VCPU: 1 CPU: 1 State: running CPU time: 0.1s CPU Affinity: yyyy VCPU: 2 CPU: 0 State: running CPU time: 0.1s CPU Affinity: yyy- [root@hgcc11 cloning_script]# virsh schedinfo rubis_ws Scheduler : posix cpu_shares : 1024 Still I get it as an invalid option : [root@hgcc11 cloning_script]# virsh schedinfo rubis_ws --set vcpu_quota=1100 Scheduler : posix error: invalid scheduler option: vcpu_quota=1100 If I try to add the quota option to the xml file : <vcpu>3</vcpu> <cputune> <vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='0-2'/> <quota>-1</quota> </cputune> I get : [root@hgcc11 cloning_script]# virsh create images/rubis_ws.xml error: Failed to create domain from images/rubis_ws.xml error: Unable to set cpu bandwidth quota: No such file or directory Eventhough I am using libvirt 0.9.4, I think I am missing something. > > -- > Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 > Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org - Regards, Sethuraman Subbiah Graduate Student - NC state University M.S in Computer Science
