=head1 NAME
xlcpupool.cfg - XL Cpupool Configuration File Syntax
=head1 SYNOPSIS
/etc/xen/xlcpupool
=head1 DESCRIPTION
To create a Cpupool with xl requires the provision of a cpupool config
file. Typically these live in `/etc/xen/CPUPOOL.cfg` where CPUPOOL is
the name of the cpupool.
=head1 SYNTAX
A cpupool config file consists of a series of C<KEY=VALUE> pairs.
A value C<VALUE> is one of:
=over 4
=item B<"STRING">
A string, surrounded by either single or double quotes.
=item B<NUMBER>
A number, in either decimal, octal (using a C<0> prefix) or
hexadecimal (using an C<0x> prefix).
=item B<[ VALUE, VALUE, ... ]>
A list of C<VALUES> of the above types. Lists are homogeneous and are
not nested.
=back
The semantics of each C<KEY> defines which form of C<VALUE> is required.
=head1 OPTIONS
=head2 Mandatory Configuration Items
The following key is mandatory for any cpupool:
=over 4
=item B<name="NAME">
Specifies the name of the cpupool. Names of cpupools existing on a
single host must be unique.
=back
=head2 Optional Configuration Items
The following options apply to guests of any type.
=over 4
=item B<sched="SCHED">
Specifies the scheduler which is used for the cpupool. Valid
values for C<SCHED> are:
=over 4
=item B<credit>
the credit scheduler
=item B<credit2>
the credit2 scheduler
=item B<sedf>
the SEDF scheduler
=back
The default scheduler is the one used for C<Pool-0> specified as
boot parameter of the hypervisor.
=item B<nodes="NODES">
Specifies the cpus of the NUMA-nodes given in C<NODES> (an integer or
a list of integers) to be member of the cpupool. The free cpus in the
specified nodes are allocated in the new cpupool.
=item B<cpus="CPUS">
The specified C<CPUS> are allocated in the new cpupool. All cpus must
be free. Must not be specified together with B<nodes>.
If neither B<nodes> nor B<cpus> are specified only the first free cpu
found will be allocated in the new cpupool.
=back
=head1 FILES
F</etc/xen/CPUPOOL.cfg>
=head1 BUGS
This document is a work in progress and contains items which require
further documentation and which are generally incomplete (marked with
XXX). However all options are included here whether or not they are
fully documented.
Patches to improve incomplete items (or any other item) would be
gratefully received on the xen-devel@lists.xen.org mailing
list. Please see L<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/SubmittingXenPatches> for
information on how to submit a patch to Xen.
