I've noticed this section in Xen 3.4 News( http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-xen/2009/03/02/msg004800.html): CPU offline/hotplug: Xen 3.4 can offline physical CPUs on CPU-core granularity. CPU hotplugging works on CPU granularity. It's meant as an recover-action for the case of machine-check errors. This feature requires Dom0 support to utilize it. This feature has been almost tested on Intel-CPUs only. Then I downloaded the stable version from xen.org and installed. But since the document is not updated, I don't know the detail method to offline a physical CPU. Can anyone give me the hint? Thanks very much! -- Yours Sincerely, Ting Shen
