Configures an existing virtual machine (VM) CPU allocation.
| vm | Designates a virtual machine. |
| vm_name | Specifies the VM name to configure. |
| cpus | Designates specifying the number of CPUs to allocate to the VM. |
| num_cpus | Specifies the number of CPUs to allocate to the VM. Range is 1–2. The default is 1. |
By default, the number of CPUs allocated is 1.
The number of CPUs allocated to a VM is set when the VM is created (default is 1), but you can change the allocation with this command. To view the number of CPUs currently allocated to a VM, use the command show vm {vm_name | detail}.
This command does not take effect until the next time the guest VM is started.
The Extreme Insight feature requires the Solid State Storage Device SSD-120.
The following example changes the number of CPUs allocated to VM "vm1" to 2:
# configure vm vm1 cpus 2
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 30.3.
This command is available on all platforms that support the Extreme Insight for Guest VMs feature and have a Core license installed. For a list of platforms that support the Insight feature and for information about licenses, see the ExtremeXOS 30.7 Feature License Requirements .
