Hi Pradeep,
Hmm.. not really an answer to your question. But here's a doc on Oracle VM
to bind guest or virtual machineCPUs to physical CPUs or cores.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/virtualization/pdf/ovm-hardpart.pdf
And here's another document saying this...
"Hardware Partition licensing – As a general rule Oracle requires that all
processors on the server be licensed for the database. However, some server
virtualization solutions can be configured such that only the processors
used by
the partition running the database need to be licensed. These are classified
as
hard partitioning technologies. More information can be found
at:http://www.oracle.com/corporate/pricing/partitioning.pdf";
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/clustering/certify/db_virtualization_support.pdf
Well.. I dunno if KVM can do this..
