Hi Andrei,
I've summed up your proposals and sketched and algorithm:
N - the number of vcpus from the '-c' parameter
X - the number of vcpus from the device tree
if there isn't the parameter -> start the vm with X vcpus
if there is the parameter --> if N <= X -> start the vm with N parameters
Thanks for you responses and sorry for not specifying the guest's device
tree.

Hi Andrei,
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). If N is smaller than the number of cores
described in the device tree it will enable only N and if it's

Because typing a command line arg is a lot easier than recompiling a
device tr

That seems to be one reasonable solution. I am not very informed on what
the CPU over commit situation is
Hello,

no parameter is given and throw an error when N is greater than the device
tree value.
