Hello,

I noticed that there is only one CPU in all LXC systems.

The number of CPUs has been allocated in the LXC Configs with the following information:

cores: 3
cpulimit: 3.5

The number of all available cores can be displayed with the command htop. Only one CPU is ever listed within an LXC system.

The command "pct cpusets" only lists one CPU in proxmox:

-------
101: 0
105: 0
106: 0
112: 0
-------

In terms of hardware, 8 cores are available in Proxmox, all of which are listed as active in htop.

Can someone explain to me how the cause of the error can be narrowed down?

A restart of the Proxmox system did not change anything.
 
Hello,

in the meantime the cause has been found.

During the boot phase, a script ran which deactivated individual CPU cores depending on the load.

After deactivating the script and subsequent system reboot, all CPU cores were available again.
