Hi All
I am new to KVM world. I have been using VMware for about a year.
In VMware world we can reserve cpu resources for a VM. Say for instance if we need 4 vCPUs with a total of 8000 GHz then we can mention this configuration in vCenter while creating a VM. This guarantees 8000 GHz of cpu resources for the deployed VM.
How can i achieve the same thing using KVM ?
If you are comfortable with command line, you can look at `virsh` manual page for setvcpus - change number of virtual CPUs to control how many vCPUs you can allocate. If you're using `virt-manager`, you should be able to control it via UI for a guest under its "Show virtual hardware details" and look for "Processor". -- /kashyap
