Hi, The cpu hotplug that have been backported from QEMU to qemu-xen (1.5 to 1.3) is incomplete. Especially, there is no way to know if a CPU is already marked as online by qemu. This result by those error messages from libxl: libxl: error: libxl_qmp.c:289:qmp_handle_error_response: received an error message from QMP server: Unable to add CPU: 0, it already exists libxl: error: libxl_qmp.c:289:qmp_handle_error_response: received an error message from QMP server: Unable to add CPU: 1, it already exists So I tried to backport more patches so it will become possible for libxl to get the list of online cpu. But this result in *a lot* of patches. Here is the git tree and see the list of patches at the end of the mail: git://xenbits.xen.org/people/aperard/qemu-dm.git backport-cpu-device There is still some work to be done like making sure everything is working properly and making some patches to use it with libxl. So George, is it worth getting those patches into Xen 4.3 to get ride of the error message ? cpu: Change parent type to Device qdev: Fold state enum into bool realized qdev: Prepare "realized" property cpu: Prepare QOM realizefn target-i386: Update X86CPU to QOM realizefn cpu: Introduce cpu_resume(), for single CPU target-i386: Split out CPU creation and features parsing cpu: Resume CPU from DeviceClass::realize() if hot-plugged Revert "xen: Implement hot_add_cpu hook."
