I have a self built system using an Intel D 920 processor and a MB that
supports VT. I'm able to run HVM domains fine, but have trouble getting
multiple VCPUs for these domains. Here is an example of one of my configs.
import os, re
arch = os.uname()[4]
if re.search('64',
arch):
arch_libdir =
'lib64'
else:
arch_libdir = 'lib'
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
Kernel image file.
kernel = "/usr/lib/xen/boot/hvmloader"
# The domain build function. HVM domain uses 'hvm'.
builder='hvm'
# Initial memory allocation (in megabytes) for the new domain.
memory =
256
# A name for your domain. All domains must have different names.
name =
"windows"
#-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
the number of cpus guest platform has, default=1
vcpus=2
# enable/disable HVM guest PAE, default=0 (disabled)
#pae=0
# enable/disable HVM guest ACPI, default=0 (disabled)
#acpi=0
# enable/disable HVM guest APIC, default=0 (disabled)
#apic=0
# List of which CPUS this domain is allowed to use, default Xen
picks
#cpus = "" # leave to
Xen to pick
#cpus = "0" # all
vcpus run on CPU0
#cpus = "0-3,5,^1" # run on cpus 0,2,3,5
# Optionally define mac and/or bridge for the network interfaces.
#
Random MACs are assigned if not given.
#vif = [ 'type=ioemu,
mac=00:16:3e:00:00:11, bridge=xenbr0' ]
# type=ioemu specify the NIC is an
ioemu device not netfront
vif = [ 'type=ioemu, bridge=xenbr0' ]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
Define the disk devices you want the domain to have access to, and
# what
you want them accessible as.
# Each disk entry is of the form
phy:UNAME,DEV,MODE
# where UNAME is the device, DEV is the device name the
domain will see,
# and MODE is r for read-only, w for read-write.
#disk = [ 'phy:hda1,hda1,r' ]
disk = [
'file:/root/windows.img,ioemu:hda,w' ]
#----------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
Configure the behaviour when a domain exits. There are three
'reasons'
# for a domain to stop: poweroff, reboot, and crash. For
each of these you
# may specify:
#
#
"destroy", meaning that the domain
is cleaned up as normal;
#
"restart", meaning that a new domain
is started in place of the
old
#
one;
# "preserve", meaning
that no clean-up is done until the domain
is
#
manually destroyed (using xm destroy, for example); or
#
"rename-restart", meaning that the old domain is not cleaned up, but is
#
renamed and a new domain started in its place.
#
# The default
is
#
#
#
on_reboot = 'restart'
# on_crash
= 'restart'
#
# For backwards compatibility we also support the
deprecated option restart
#
# restart = 'onreboot' means
#
on_reboot =
'restart'
#
on_crash = 'destroy'
#
# restart =
'always' means
#
on_reboot =
'restart'
#
on_crash = 'restart'
#
# restart =
'never' means
#
on_reboot = 'destroy'
#
on_crash = 'destroy'
#
#on_reboot =
'restart'
#on_crash = 'restart'

I'm running Xen 3.0.2-2 from the binary download. The HVM domain
only sees 1 cpu and xm list displays on VCPU.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
