Hello there,

I'm just starting out with openvz and have created my initial template following the walkthrough at http://wiki.openvz.org/Ubuntu_Hardy_template_creation.

I didn't really run into any issues with this (quite excellent) howto, but when trying to set the number of CPUs visable from a container, either using the command vzctl set <veid> --cpus <num> --save or by specifying and applying a ve config CPUS="1" the number of processors within the container stays the same as the hardware host.

root@vz:~# vzctl --version
vzctl version 3.0.22
root@vz:~# uname -a
Linux vz 2.6.24-23-openvz #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 20:50:16 UTC 2008 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Is there any more information I can provide to shine more light on this issue? (If it is indeed an issue and I amn't just misunderstanding the --cpus flag!) Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Paul
