           Summary: On an eight cpu system domU 'cap' can only be set to 100
           Product: Xen
           Version: 3.0.3
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux-2.6
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Guest-OS
        AssignedTo: xen-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: td-ifs@xxxxxx


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.
