co-stop

I see co-stop on some of the vcpu values. But in some of them  i cant see why ? Virtual machine 34 vcpu working. Cpu ready% 20 . 34 vCPU virtual server does not cause co-stop value in all. What is the meaning of not being seen. can we say some CPUs do not work on vm ?

Hello goodface,

Do you have VMs with just one cpu assigned or multiple CPU's for which the VM's has no co-stop?

thanks,

MS

do the VMs which doesn't show co-stop value has more than one CPU?

The co-stop value will be shown only with VMs which have multiple vCPUs.

Please refer this KB and following article.
