Limit resources to a virtual machine that is using openvz

[_El_Chojin_]

Hi:
I have 3 virtual machines 1 with KVM (windows) and 2 linux with openvz.
For the KVM machine, you can set up the number of CPUs that you would like to assign to this machine, so if the 2 cpus are used, the machine will be 100% of use but will now affect the other virtual machines.

My question is how to do the same with the linux virtual machines, if a user have configurated wrong a service could get a lot of cpu usage, and like is not restrictered the number of cpus that he could use, will affect to the all virtual machines, how can i set a limit of cpus.

Thanks.

cpulimits does not work with openvz (> 2.6.18).

But you can set cpuunits using the web interface.
