Configuration/Setup instructions can be found here:  CPU Utilisation case study Configuration

The idea behind this wiki is to look at the CPU metrics from the baremetal host, the hypervisor and the VM itself to see the if the CPU utilisation metrics reported are consistent across all 3.

Core 10 and 11 were isolated from the OS using the isolcpus argument to grub command line and using virsh to Pin the vCPUs to those cores:

$ virsh vcpupin test 0 10

$ virsh vcpupin test 1 11

$ virsh vcpupin test
