that is quite simple, you enable the Hard CPU Scheduler
and select the Idle Time Skip, then you set the following
token bucket values depending on what your mean with
'should run with 1:2:3 ratio of CPU usage':
a) a guaranteed maximum of 16.7%, 33.3% and 50.0%
b) a fair sharing according to 1:2:3
c) a guaranteed minimum of 16.7%, 33.3% and 50.0%
with a fair sharing of 1:2:3 for the rest ...
for all cases you would set:
(adjust according to you reserve/boost likings)
VPS1,2,3: tokens_min = 50, tokens_max = 500
interval = interval2 = 6
a) VPS1: rate = 1, hard, noidleskip
VPS2: rate = 2, hard, noidleskip
VPS3: rate = 3, hard, noidleskip
b) VPS1: rate2 = 1, hard, idleskip
VPS2: rate2 = 2, hard, idleskip
VPS3: rate2 = 3, hard, idleskip
c) VPS1: rate = rate2 = 1, hard, idleskip
VPS2: rate = rate2 = 2, hard, idleskip
VPS3: rate = rate2 = 3, hard, idleskip
of course, adjusting rate/interval while keeping
the ratio might help you depending on the guest load
(i.e. more batch load type or mor interactive stuff)
of course, you can do those adjustments per CPU so, if
you for example want to assign one CPU to the third
guest, you can do that easily too ...

what was your setup?
