Re: [Xen-users] understanding xm top 
| | 
So the "whole box" means the CPU 
utilization for each domain is the percentage by all available CPUs? For 
example, suppose I have four CPUs and domain0/domainU each has one VCPU (mapped 
to a fixed physial CPU). If xm top shows 10% CPU utilization for domain0, 
it means the CPU utilization in domain0 is 10% of FOUR physcial 
CPUs. Is this right?   Thanks,   Liang

  top These values are for the "whole box" meaning: whatever you 
  start dom0 with, whatever you start a domU with, xm top will show.  They 
  will not change even after doing vcpu-sets or mem-sets, and so they do always 
  match with xm list.

 Are the  CPU(%) and 
    MAXMEM(%)  a percentage of the total cpu and mem
 for the whole 
    box or just what they have been allocated, as shown by
 `xm 
    list`?
 
 Thanks Chaps.
