That seems to be one reasonable solution. I am not very informed on what the CPU over commit situation is on an ARM cpu with respect to virtualization. I would also propose as an alternative to just do what was asked by the user, which is the current amd64 implementation, OR do as asked and emmit a warning message. I would ask given what was said above: isnt this the same situation as if the sum of all VM VCPU's is more than the total cores in the system? That is a very common situation, and one we must not restrict. > On Wed, Jan 13, 2021 at 1:55 PM Andrei Martin <andrei.cos.mar...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > Hello, > > > > While working on enabling multiple virtual cpus for the arm64 virtual > > machine > > I used the bhyve's "-c N" parameter to create N cpus (it gets only the > > cpus, in contrast to the amd64).
