+Some hypervisors require a larger granularity than kilobytes, and requests

+adjust the virtual CPUs of a running domain if the domain is paravirtualized.

-For Xen, you can only adjust the virtual CPUs of a running domain if

+If I<--live> is specified, the guest domain must be active, and the change
+takes place immediately.  Both the I<--config> and I<--live> flags may be
+specified together if supported by the hypervisor.
 
-If I<--config> is specified, the change will only affect the next
-boot of a domain.  If I<--live> is specified, the domain must be
-running, and the change takes place immediately.  Both flags may be
-specified, if supported by the hypervisor.  If neither flag is given,
-then I<--live> is implied and it is up to the hypervisor whether
-I<--config> is also implied.
+When neither the I<--config> nor I<--live> flags are given, the I<--live>
+flag is assumed and the guest domain must be active.  In this situation it
+is up to the hypervisor whether the I<--config> flag is also assumed, and
+therefore whether the XML configuration is adjusted to make the change
+persistent.
 
-If I<--maximum> is specified, then you must use I<--config> and
-avoid I<--live>; this flag controls the maximum limit of vcpus that
-can be hot-plugged the next time the domain is booted.
+The I<--maximum> flag controls the maximum number of virtual cpus that can
+be hot-plugged the next time the domain is booted.  As such, it must only be
+used with the I<--config> flag, and not with the I<--live> flag.
