[Xen-users] How to run DomUs on more CPUs?



Hello!

I run Xen environment on Gentoo (built following how-to on Gentoo Wiki - http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Xen_and_Gentoo). It is Xen 3.0.2 with 2.6.16.28 kernel.

It is a server with two Xeons. Xen "knows" all four cores (at least he sais so in /proc/cpuinfo and top).

Three DomUs run there. I have noticed that all three DomUs use just only first core of first CPU.

Output from top when all three DomUs are "under pressure":

Cpu0 : 0.0% us, 0.7% sy, 0.0% ni, *0.0% id*, 97.3% wa, 1.0% hi, 1.0% si Cpu1 : 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, *100.0% id*, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Cpu2 : 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, *100.0% id*, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si Cpu3 : 0.0% us, 0.0% sy, 0.0% ni, *100.0% id*, 0.0% wa, 0.0% hi, 0.0% si

Is there som way to tell Xen to distribute the load to other cores? Or to tell what DomU should use what CPU? I tried this with different setting of cpus variable (including cpus="") in the configuration of DomUs but with no effect.

I would be happy if someone could explain me what I should do.

Thanks!
