Re: [Xen-users] CPU load average above 2 on domU but load average 0 on dom0-XCP 1.6

[kevin parker <kevin.parker092@xxxxxxxxx>]

 Sorry for making things complicated.. yes i was considering load on physical CPU with load on dom0 VCPU.I thought running top on dom0 reveals overall cpu usage as in case of normal system.I forgot to consider it as another Virtual Machine.If this is correct then is there a way to see the actual cpu utilization.

Regards,

Are you perhaps confusing the load on the physical processors with the
load on the dom0 VCPUs? They are separate things, dom0's CPUs are VCPUs
just like a domU's CPUs.

I'm not sure what you mean by a process in domU polling its CPU. domU
(and dom0) VCPUs are scheduled on PCPUS (physical CPUS).
