You can increase the limit by editing sys/amd64/include/vmm.h #define VM_MAXCPU 16 From what I've been told, things scale badly above 24 CPUs. They plan to solve this issue, but have not yet. If you system has enough cores to support using more than 16 per VM, you can modify the file and recompile the kernel and use as many CPUs as you want, but not much testing has happened with bigger numbers. -- Allan Jude
