In my OpenVZ server with HyperVM when creating VM, i have:

Cpu Usage (%) 100/CPU
CPU UNITS (default 1000)
Number Of CPUS

According to what i read, "CPU UNITS" should be physical procesors, "Number Of CPUS" are cores and "Cpu usage (%)" is percentage limit of what computing power VM can get out of one CPU UNIT?

So the CPU UNITS (default 1000) is always minimum 1000, when i enter lower value, 1000 is still used (because for limitting i have "Cpu Usage (%) 100/CPU" value.., so CPU UNITS is 1000, 2000, 3000 ? If i do 2000, vm is allowed to use 2 cores right?
