 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 ?

At boot time. 'sched=bvt/sedf/credit' needs to be passed to Xen in
your boot loader (not to the dom0 kernel).

 2. Can we change the scheduler when a domU is already running ?

No.

 3. Can we change the existing scheduler parameters at runtime for domU or
dom0 ?

Yes. See 'xm sched-sedf', 'xm sched-credit' etc

 4. How do we figure out which scheduler is currently being used

'xm dmesg | grep -i sched'
