CoreXL settings with VSNext ?

[Wolfgang]

Do we have to configure the number of cores of a virtual system if we use VSNext ?

Older VSX requires to configure CoreXL settings in the virtual system via Smartconsole. Is the virtual system a VSNext object there is no such option.

I believe we don't need to configure this and dynamic_balancing will do the magic in the background, but I can't found anything related in the documentation ?

It's configured as an Advanced setting during VS creation via GAiA UI.

There's also the VSNext section of the R82 VSX admin guide. The CoreXL config is changed locally on the system. Seems like a headache, but at least one you shouldn't have to deal with often. I also don't see any mention of whether changing the instance count causes an outage (I assume it does).

My fault, the small dart expands the advanced settings. You can change the CoreXL instances, a restart of the whole VS followed with cpstop/cpstart.
