I have 2 VMs launched by : 'virsh create <xml file>' . Both VMs get 2 vcpus (out of total 2 cores of the host) I then try bias their cpu cycle quota by manipulating the cpu_shares ( virsh schedinfo --set cpu_shares=<value> vm1/2 ) so that VM1 will get 3 times the cpu cycles VM2 gets. (e.g : VM1 cpu_shares = 150 . VM2 cpu_shares = 50) . There are no other VMs defined or any other significant process running on the host . Each VM runs the same process (2 threads en...

Hello, I have another question about cgroup in libvirt I create a script that put vm in cgroup for limiting blkio sudo cgcreate -f 750 -d 750 -a $user:$group -g blkio:$alias pid=`pgrep $alias` echo $pid > /dev/cgroup/blkio/$alias/tasks $virsh schedinfo --set cpu_shares=$cpu $alias echo "8:0 $disk_io" > /dev/cgroup/blkio/$alias/blkio.throttle.read_bps_device echo "8:0 $disk_io" > /dev/cgroup/blkio/$alias/blkio.throttle.write_bps_device For example I write: 8:0 10485760 to /dev/cgroup/blkio/$alias/blkio.throttle.*_bps_device So there sho...

Hey everyone, Can anyone explain the scedinfo parameters? I am wondering if I can use this, (along with host side niceness scheduler tweaks) to cause vCPUs to dominate the total time of the CPUs they are pinned to. Here are the sched info parameters: Scheduler : posix cpu_shares : 0 vcpu_period : 0 vcpu_quota : 0 emulator_period: 0 emulator_quota : 0 The documentation ( http://libvirt.org/sources/virshcmdref/html/sect-schedinfo.html) is not yet filled for this. If anyone can explain these parameters, or point me to relevant code it would be helpful! Thanks Y...

Hi , I was previously using xen and currently moved to KVM. I am using libvirt to manage these VMs. In den's credit scheduler , I had the ability to set a cap on the cpu usage for a VM. But I was not able to find a similar substitute in KVM. I find that we can use cgroups to provide shares for VM but that will be more like weight based and it doesn't set a hard cap for that VM. I tried

Hello libvirt users, I'm using the cgroup with QEMU guests. At /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf, I have the following parameter: cgroup_controllers = [ "cpu" ] This controller is successfully mounted and libvirt is able to create subgroups for each VM, it's really great the cgroups support in libvirt. The problem is that I can only set the parameters of a given cgroup under the cpu

Hi I tried to restrict usage of some running VM by cpu.shares (i.e. set to 10 from original 1024) on loaded system and it seem doesn't work as I expected... all running processes has same CPU usage (by htop) :-/ Does anyone has same experience?
