limit processor use by Virtual Machine [CLOSED]

Post by dtouzeau »

Dear

I would like to define a limit of the CPU use for each Virtual Machine

Like :
For specific VM use max 800Mhz processor
Is it possible to do that ??

No, not possible. You can only provide how many CPUs the Guest sees and thus can use. Of course you can give it more CPUs than you have but that's not advised.

I'm not a dev, and there isn't a public roadmap either, so sorry, I don't.
