BTW, I noticed that when I use "xm new", the VCPUs are set as 4 as
expected...
[root@localhost images]# xm new -f win1.cfg
[root@localhost images]# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 5503 1 r-----
4129.3
win1 2048 4
0.0
But as soon as I "xm start win1", the VCPUs go back to 1.
[root@localhost images]# xm list
Name ID Mem VCPUs State
Time(s)
Domain-0 0 5503 1 r-----
4170.8
win1 54 2048 1 r-----
4.5
