8.3. Enabling dedicated resources for virtual machine templates
Virtual machines can have resources of a node, such as CPU, dedicated to them in order to improve performance.
8.3.1. About dedicated resources
When you enable dedicated resources for your virtual machine, your virtual machine’s workload is scheduled on CPUs that will not be used by other processes. By using dedicated resources, you can improve the performance of the virtual machine and the accuracy of latency predictions.
8.3.2. Prerequisites
-
The CPU Manager must be configured on the node. Verify that the node has the
cpumanager=truelabel before scheduling virtual machine workloads.
8.3.3. Enabling dedicated resources for a virtual machine template
You can enable dedicated resources for a virtual machine template in the Virtual Machine Template Overview page of the web console.
Procedure
