Hi,<div><br></div><div>You are right Carsten. For Xen OpenNebula uses the credit scheduler to distribute the CPU cycles betwen the VMs according to the CPU attribute in the template. In the case of KVM you can achieve that with cgroups, a hook can automatically set the share for the KVM process...</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">As far as I can tell, for KVM, the CPU value is only used in the
OpenNebula scheduler to prevent over-allocation. So, if you have defined the
host as having 2 CPUs the scheduler will run e.g. 1 VM requesting CPU 2.0, or 2
VMs requesting CPU 1.0, or 4 VMs requesting CPU 0.5 (each) on this host. For
KVM, it seems that once running on the hypervisor the CPU value is not enforced.</span></p>

noticed that the vms use more than 0.4 of the cpu. top command show me this:<br>
