I have looked but not found anything in the docs - if I've been blind then just say so and point me at the right place !


If I have a 4 core machine, and run 5 Dom-Us, each configured to use one processor, how does Xen manage Dom-processor mapping ?

Does it dynamically assign Dom-Us to processors based on current load ?

Or is the assignment static and dependent on what order they are started up ? Eg, the first three will get a core each, but the last 2 will share one - or some variation.

And does this change if one or more Dom-Us are configured to use 2 processors ?
