Certainly it's wrong at the moment, because XenServer doesn't allow you to 
change the MHz of the CPU of a VM. Can someone find out which XenServer API 
calls it actually makes? Then we can work out how to describe it.

Subject: Re: UI: "CPU (in MHz)" doesn't make sense

I agree completely.  We've set all of our service offerings to equal weights, 
and hard coded the same weight into the custom offering form.
It's a bit too confusing otherwise.

The way I understand the weights for (Xen/KVM at least) is that they're just 
relative, so 1 vs 2 is the same as 1 vs 1000.  That being the case I'd suggest 
a solution that has worked for us in the past: set the weight equal to the 
memory amount (in MB).

Thoughts?


Thank You,
