Managing Container CPU Resources

The current section explains the CPU resource parameters that you can configure and monitor for each Container.

The table below provides the name and the description for the CPU parameters. The File column indicates whether the parameter is defined in the global configuration file (G) or in the Container configuration files (V).

Parameter	Description	File
`ve0cpuunits`	This is a positive integer number that determines the minimal guaranteed share of the CPU time Container 0 (the server itself) will receive at its startup. It is recommended to set the value of this parameter to be 5-10% of the power of the server. After the server is up and running, you can redefine the amount of the CPU time allocated to the server by using the `--cpuunits` parameter with the `pctl set` command.	G
`cpuunits`	This is a positive integer number that determines the minimal guaranteed share of the CPU time the corresponding Container will receive. Note: In the current version of Parallels Server Bare Metal, you can also use this parameter to define the CPU time share for the server.	V
`cpulimit`	This is a positive number indicating the CPU time, in percent, the corresponding Container is not allowed to exceed.	V
`cpus`	The number of CPUs to be used to handle the processes running inside the corresponding Container.	V
