Hi Atsushi,

You should show detail configuration.
Your information is too short.

Anyway I guess each domain has one vcpu.
If so, this is normal behavior.
Because one vcpu cannot allocate two or more pcpu at once.

Right, but shouldn't Xen hypervisor be capable of migrating the VCPU among the available PCPUs on a multiprocessor system, like in this case? And criteria should be the load on the PCPU or the idle PCPUs.
yes/no?

Am i missing something here?

Thanks
