RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description dyuan 2012-03-23 09:42:43 UTC
Description of problem:
In the guest, the cpu usage is 100% from task manager, but it's around 29% from virt-manager.
It's better to return "no respons" when the guest cpu usage reached 100% but not stay at 29%, or it will be confused for users.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.9.0-10.el6.x86_64
virt-top-1.0.4-3.12.el6.x86_64
python-virtinst-0.600.0-7.el6.noarch
libvirt-0.9.10-6.el6

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot up a guest, xp-i386
2. open the IE browser, or issue other programme to occupy 100% cpu
3. track the cpu usage from task manager
  
Actual results:
unmatched cpu usage from the tools to the guest task manager.

Expected results:
Presents the true state of guest.

What CPU usage column, Guest CPU or Host CPU? How many VCPUS does the VM have?

Comment 2 Cole Robinson 2012-06-17 22:00:13 UTC
Closing as INSUFFICIENT_DATA

Comment 3 dyuan 2012-08-14 08:20:41 UTC
Sorry for the late responds.

I have 4 physical cpu in host and 1 virtual cpu in guest, make the cpu usage to 100% in guest then get the 25% cpu usage in "performance -- CPU usage" of "show virtual hardware details", I know that it shows the usage per the whole physical cpus in host. 
But I think it should be different in "Connection Details -- Overview", because I get the cpu usage in "show virtual hardware details" against the single vm but not connection.

Comment 4 Dave Allan 2012-09-12 01:35:18 UTC
I believe this is behavior by design, so I'm closing as NOTABUG.
