[one-users] the problem of the CPU in the virtual machine's template

[cmcc.dylan]

if VCPU=4, i think the host will fork 4 process on behalf of this vm, because i see it is so implemented in the qemu code.
I am very confused about this part of opennebula!

VCPU is the parameter that controls how many cores appear internally in the virtual machine.  I. e. if you have VCPU=4

Your VM will have 4 cores, but there will still only be one kvm process as seen in the hypervisor that corresponds to it.

In a typical KVM setup it is possible to allocate more VCPU per VM host than the VM host has real cores.

I am not exactly sure what CPU does, but it does affect the FCPU and ACPU as seen in the onehost list output.

Hi, everyone!

 

    I have a doubt what's the accurately means of CPU in the vm's template. 

    For a example, if we define a vm which has CPU=1 and VCPU = 4. In this condition , what's result in the host os?

    Does the host os fork 4 process on behalf of this vm and does  the 4 process get 4 cores if the host's scheduler allows that.

 

    I want to know the differences between "CPU=4,VCPU=4" and "CPU=1,VCPU=4".
