Hi guys, I'm planning on buying a Dell poweredge 2900 server. I'll be running 5.2 on it. I plan on using Xen to split that fairly powerful machines (to us). The thing is, I want to control that certian VMs cannot abuse the whole machine. Basically, I want to control that a certain VM is for example limited to 60% of total CPU power, another is limited to 20%, and another to 20%. In case of no cpu contention, one VM could take up to 100% of CPU power. Does such a facility exist ?
Also, can (should?) I over commit memory allocations. It's basically the same problem as partitioning CPU power. The server is gonna have 16Gs. Do I have to hard partition, or can it be somehow dynamic ? This is more difficult than CPU partitioning, since if all VMs decide to take max memory, where would the extra data go :) Appreciating any pointers, as I haven't used xen in production yet Thanks, Best Regards _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
