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".
