Re: [Xen-devel] VM Migration on a NUMA server?
I've looked into those settings and vcpu affinities on Xen wiki page. However what I'm trying to argue about is memory should be migrated when vcpus are moved to another node. But setting a vcpu's affinity only seems to allow vcpu migration Âbetween different nodes. As my NUMA server is on the way I cannot verify that. Anyhow, moving memory really draws my interest now. On Fri, 2015-07-31 at 13:10 +0100, Wei Liu wrote:

Yes, as I said in my email, if soft affinity is used (and that's the
default, if anything contradicting that is specified in the confing
file) the vcpus are allowed to run outside of the NUMA node where the
memory has been allocated, but they'll try not to do so.

Thanks for the ping on this! :-)
