Thanks Trilok for the clarification !
On running some of your commands I get the following output. Does this
seem to indicate I am running the credit scheduler ? xm dmesg doesn't
tell me.
I get the following output:
# xm sched-sedf

I havent tried this, but there are two sheduler credit and sedf
scheduler for xen host and this would be common for all the domains. As
from xen documantion, boot time sched=credit or sedf is used to set the
scheduler for the xen hosts.
For this there are two commands to set and get the parameters of the
scheduler for individual domin depednding on the scheduler. Scheduler
cant be differnet for the different domains.

I dont think bvt scheduler is available in latest xen 3.0 ( Not sure ).
Hope this will be worthful to you.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have been trying to setup Xen scheduling but have some questions:
1. When do we exactly specify the scheduler to use ? At dom0 boot time
(i.e. when the host boots) or when the domU is created with xm ?
2. Can we change the scheduler when a domU is already running ?
3. Can we change the existing scheduler parameters at runtime for domU or dom0 ?
4. How do we figure out which scheduler is currently being used ?
The answers are probably straightforward but I haven't found a tutorial or a guide that explains these points, esp 2,3, or 4.
I am trying to experiment with the bvt scheduler and tried passing
sched=bvt at xm create time. But I can't figure out if its actually
being used or how to change its parameters.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Ashish
