[pve-devel] qemu-server : cpu hotplug rework

[Alexandre DERUMIER]

>>Or should we simply assume 'vcpus' is the switch to enable hotplug? 
Yes, I thinked at something like this.

On gui, on processor form,

maybe can we replace the "total cores: x" text, by a numberfield (vcpus)

"total enabled cores: x"

-default is (sockets * cores)


I'll try to see how it's implemented in vmware, xen, ovirt ...

For memory hotplug, we need to define "maxmemory" option to enable dimm hotplug

Or should we simply assume 'vcpus' is the switch to enable hotplug? 
We could do the same for memory hotplug, and disable it if 'dimm_memory' is 
not defined inside config?
