This document contains information about limits of Xen 4.2.
 
 
== CPUs & Memory ==
 
* Xen can scale up to 4,095 host CPUs with 5Tb of RAM.
 
* Using Para Virtualization (PV), Xen supports a maximum of 512 VCPUs with 512Gb RAM per guest.
 
* Using Hardware Virtualization (HVM), Xen supports a maximum of 128 VCPUs with 512Gb RAM per guest.
 
 
== Other Limits ==
 
* Maximum of 32K interrupts and 2k PCI segments: this limits the number of devices that can be
 
used in two ways.
 
* The number of devices many can be attached to the system must fit into 2k PCI segments, i.e. 2k * 256 [buses] * 32 [devices] * 8 [functions])
 
** The number of hardware interrupts they may surface (one would expect at least one interrupt per device function, so this is the stricter of the two limitations).
