Changing the XML or running kvm by hand works fine ofcourse. I overread the virsh - sorry. To summarize running: virtsh setvcpu 2 returns an error (i can't acces the machine, so can't give you the exact error) /* XXX future KVM will support SMP. Need to probe kernel to figure out KVM module version i guess */ if (STRCASEEQ(type, kvm)) return 1; There's a KVM_NR_MAX_VCPUS capability in recent KVM but this won't be working until 2.6.27 so there's little point in fixing this for lenny yet. I'll push a patch upstream - should we get 2.6.27 into lenny I'll backport it, otherwise it will get into unstable with the new upstream libvirt version.

Which means that you can't change the number of cpu's using virsh setvcpu to more then 1... Even in 0.4.0 SMP worked with KVM. Increase the number of CPUs in the XML and it'll work. Please describe what you tried to do. -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
