I see now way of enforcing it though. This is what I had in mind: (simplified) 1. Management App increase cpus 2. kvm (as instructed by app): insert cpu x 3. guest os: online cpu x 4. do some stuff in the guest... 5. guest os: offline cpu x 6. Management App decrease cpus 7. kvm (as instructed by app): eject cpu x However after step 7 the guest can turn the cpu online again by issuing echo 1 >/sys/devices/.../cpuX/online If the guest does so, the Management App has no way of knowing and thus cannot provide accurate logs - that is why it is so important.
