xlcpupool.cfg — XL Cpupool Configuration File Syntax To create a Cpupool with xl requires the provision of a cpupool config file. Typically these live in `/etc/xen/CPUPOOL.cfg` where CPUPOOL is the name of the cpupool. A cpupool config file consists of a series of A value A string, surrounded by either single or double quotes. A number, in either decimal, octal (using a A list of The semantics of each The following key is mandatory for any cpupool: Specifies the name of the cpupool. Names of cpupools existing on a single host must be unique. The following options apply to guests of any type. Specifies the scheduler which is used for the cpupool. Valid values for the credit scheduler the credit2 scheduler the RTDS scheduler The default scheduler is the one used for Specifies the cpus of the NUMA-nodes given in Specifies the cpus that will be member of the cpupool. All the specified cpus must be free, or creation will fail. means that cpus 2,3,5 will be member of the cpupool. means that cpus 0,2,3 and 5 will be member of the cpupool. A “node:” or “nodes:” modifier can be used. E.g., “0,node:1,nodes:2-3,^10-13” means that pcpus 0, plus all the cpus of NUMA nodes 1,2,3 with the exception of cpus 10,11,12,13 will be memeber of the cpupool. If neither nodes nor cpus are specified only the first free cpu found will be allocated in the new cpupool. /etc/xen/CPUPOOL.cfg This document is a work in progress and contains items which require further documentation and which are generally incomplete (marked with XXX).
