[Xen-users] On an eight cpu system domU ''cap'' can only be set to 100

On a 8 Core system only dom0 can set cap > 100 and vcpus > 1. On a domU 

''xm sched-credit -d <domU> -c 200''

says "Error: cap is out of range". Vcpu cannot be set higher than 1 -
regardless of boot/config/command line. Low performance is equivalent to the
cap setting.

Réf. : [Xen-users] On an eight cpu system domU ''cap'' can only be set to 100

You should try to put : vcpus = 8 into your domu configuration file and
restart it

Is the domU kernel SMP-capable?

Does not change anything. Regardless where I set vcpu I cannot increase it.

I forgot the environment: Debian Etch, amd64, Xen 3.0.3-1
