Re: [Xen-users] Dual Core processor options

Keep in mind that Xen 2.0.7 seems to have problems with Dual Core A64s... Xen 3.0 seems to fix this problem, but we had some issues with 2.0.7 which made it impossible to use xen.

Yes, that'd work. You can put domUs on any logical processor (hyperthread, core, real CPU package...). If the domUs are SMP you can spread them across several logical processors.

Bear in mind dom0 has to go somewhere though ;-) On hyperthreaded systems there's a benefit to allowing dom0 its own hyperthread so that it's never context switched and is always available for servicing IO requests.

On a multicore without HT, you might have it share a core with domUs, or dedicate a core - depending on your expected IO load.

Hi There, Having read about this somewhere recently, am i correct in
assuming that if you have a (say) dual processor server with dual core
processors, that you can assign domU's to individual cores? for
example:

2 domUs on 1 core of one processor
1 domU on the other core of the same processor
1 domU to both cores of the other processor

This allocation would of couse reflect the indented usage of domUs

Simon
