Cpu Over provisioning

Hello All,

I have raised the cpu over provisioning factor in both global and cluster
settings and rebooted both management and server and host. The result is
that the factor is only applied on cpu frequency capacity but not on # of
cores. Please advise about that.

Best Regards.

Go to global setting, then choose "Hypervisor capabilities" in the drop
down menu. Change settings as appropriate.

Hello,

I had trouble deploying a new  VM. I thought it is because of cpu
resources. I checked the management server log and found that it complaints
about maximum number of running vms is reached on the host. How can I
modify this setting?

Thanks

It's enough to raised CPU overprovisioning factor only on the cluster level
(assuming 4.11).
NO need to restart mgmt at all (though it says it's needed...)
NO need to restart any hypervisors hosts
In order for correct changes to happen, you need to stop and start all the
running VMs (in KVM they will get less CPU shares, in VMware it depends -
if reservations are active, then it will get less reservations, in
XenServer it will change weigh of each VM's CPU, etc) -  AND correct MHz
numbers will be displayed only once you stop/start all running VMs.
Number of cores can't be overprovisioned - doesn't change in the
UI/CloudStack

Best
