Another way of setting a CPU limit for a virtual machine or container is to use the prlctl set --cpus command. In this case, you can specify how many logical CPU cores the virtual machine or container may use. For example, to allow the container MyCT to use only 2 cores, run this command:
# prlctl set MyCT --cpus 2
To make sure that the CPU limit has been successfully set, you check /proc/cpuinfo in the container. For example:
# prlctl exec MyCT cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "cpu cores"
cpu cores : 2
