Hi Fajar,

Thanks your help. It is helpful info.

I have another issue. Because I use "virsh" to manage domU config file
(usually I use "virsh dumpxml" to copy latest config overwriting old config)
. But seems virsh does not have "vcpu_avail" or similar option. As a result,
each time I "virsh dumpxml" , it will use current number of CPU as maximum
number in the virsh xml config. Then next time I cannot use virsh to add new
vcpu anymore. 

So any idea to use virsh to hot plug cpu for DomU under xen 3.3.1?  My virsh
version is 0.4.4 (rpm one)

Felix

Try this config

vcpus=8
vcpu_avail=1
cpus="1-7"

on PV domU with Xen 3.3.1, what this does is :
- allocate 1 CPU initially
- allows up to 8 CPU to be hotplugged (with xm vcpu-set)
- maps those vcpus to pyhsical CPU 1-7, which should leave CPU0 free
for dom0's usage.

Regards,

Fajar
