hpka Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 Simple question that I've Google'd several times. In short, can I isolate a CPU to VMs only when they are running. I.e: If the VM is running: Only it can use it's designated cores If the VM is not running: Anything can use them Quote Link to comment

In long, it kinda is possible simulate it by having 2 separate sets of dockers and a set of bash script but it's not true isolation. 1 Quote Link to comment
hpka Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 (edited) Appreciate the straight answer I'll go and search the feature requests forum now and write it up if I don't find it. EDIT: Done the feature request. Edited December 6, 2019 by hpka Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I’ll be interested to see if you get any traction. I thought isolation could only happen at boot time and if so that will mean isolation cannot be dynamic. Quote Link to comment
hpka Posted December 11, 2019 Author Share Posted December 11, 2019 You can set isolation in Settings > CPU Pinning at any time. Isolation can only happen at VM boot time I admit, but appears to otherwise be available at any time at the host (i.e. UnRAID) level. Quote Link to comment
