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? Fedora 19, libvirt-1.0.5.9-1.fc19.x86_64 Thanks a lot Martin -- Martin Pavlásek <mpavlase@redhat.com> OpenStack QA Associate/Red Hat

...fo options mean? Thanks.

...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 Yasser

Hi, I'm using libvirt/kvm with openstack. When vm has CPU stall, the instance can't be destroyed. I have asked the question on openstack user mailing list and received no answers in weeks. Here is one example: # virsh destroy instance-00000085 error: Failed to destroy domain instance-00000085 error: Failed to terminate process 61222 with SIGKILL: Device or resource busy
