02:16:12 <tozhu> hello all, ask a simple question, for cpu_cap, the default is 0, does it mean the zone can use all CPUs if possible? no limit to CPU resources?
10:20:40 <_jesse> tozhu, man vmadm -> "type: integer (percentage of single CPUs, set to 0 for no cap)"
11:51:37 <tozhu> _jesse: 0 for no cap, does it mean no limit for the zones?
12:11:50 <_jesse> no cap would mean all-it-gets, afaik
12:12:39 <_jesse> there is still cpu_shares that limits how much each zone gets when all cpus are in use
12:14:34 <_jesse> as I understand it, 4 cpus in node, cpu_cap=0: can run on full 4 cpus. if there is a second zone with cpu_cap=200, and it's using it all, it would get 2 cpus and the cpu_cap=0 zone would get 2 cpus, too
12:15:27 <_jesse> cpu_shares are not cpus but 'relative to all cpu_shares in the node'
14:04:52 <tozhu> _jesse, Thank you very much
15:20:50 <openstandards> Hi, Don't suppose someone can free up some time to help me with an issue. Trying to create a bhyve vm with pci enabled. So I'm running the latest smartos build so I've edited the filesystem to include ppt_matches and ppt_aliases Loader sees these files 
15:22:08 <openstandards> Now I've ran pptadm list -a -o dev,vendor,device,path and this is what I'm getting back
15:22:14 <openstandards> --         15b3   1003   /pci@0,0/pci8086,c01@1/pci15b3,28 
15:23:33 <openstandards> so it's not assinging the card to dev it seems, I've got history working with linux however my illumos knowledge is still pretty limited 
16:45:39 <nwilkens> @tozhu We had a recent office hours discussion on the cpu_cap topic you may want to review as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iiikc5ogg0s
16:52:48 <_jesse> didn't know office hours were structured like that
16:53:46 <_jesse> would be cool to have all of them listed on some page, with the subsections (like the one above) on the page with timestamp links to the videos
16:54:51 <_jesse> would be easy place to point people to 'look for cpu_shares on that page'
16:55:08 <wiedi> oh, I wasn't aware of the recordings as well - that's nice
16:55:50 <nwilkens> We are getting better at the process of recording/posting and putting notes/chapters in place for easier consumption. 
16:56:23 <_jesse> could make a page that has list of youtube urls that fetched the chapter metadata to show?
16:56:59 <_jesse> (not sure if there's an easy api on youtube for that, though)
16:59:53 <_jesse> sep last year, "...currently, there is no way to get the chapters from the official YouTube API, so the only way to get the chapters from a text-description response (like the YouTube API provides) is to parse it in some way:"
17:00:06 <_jesse> why am I not surprised?=)
17:00:33 <openstandards> prtdiag -v shows the pcie card in-use, should this be the case if i'm trying to pass through my card into a vm?
17:20:50 <openstandards> https://controlc.com/64ff6edb  <--- any chance someone can have a look at this pastebin to see where I'm going wrong please
19:48:52 <openstandards> :(
20:28:07 <danmcd> FILES
20:28:07 <danmcd>      /etc/ppt_aliases
20:28:07 <danmcd>              Containts the bindings of PPT devices in the same format as
20:28:09 <danmcd>              /etc/driver_aliases
20:28:43 <danmcd> So what do your ppt_aliases and ppt_matches say?
20:32:33 <danmcd> @openstandards ^^^ ?  I admit to not knowing a lot about PPT.
20:32:35 <danmcd> Also:  https://movementarian.org/blog/posts/2018-10-26-pci-pass-through-support-with-bhyve-and-smartos/
23:27:26 <openstandards> Hi danmcd, that's the guide I found via my google-fu and the irc logs :) 
23:27:52 <openstandards> my /etc/driver_aliases is https://pastebin.pl/view/108a1f8e 
23:29:38 <openstandards> my ppt_aliases is empty and ppt_matches has pci10de,15f0 in it
