      .Increasing container CPU resource limits fails if CPUs are offline

      Using container CPU resource limits to increase the number of available CPUs for a pod fails if the requested CPUs are offline. If the functionality is available, you can diagnose CPU resource issues by running the `oc rsh <pod>` command to access a pod and then running the `lscpu` command:

      [source,terminal]
      ----
      $ lscpu
      ----

      Example output:

      [source,terminal]
      ----
      CPU(s): 16
      On-line CPU(s) list: 0-12,14,15
      Off-line CPU(s) list: 13
      ----

      The list of offline CPUs is unpredictable and can change from run to run.

      Workaround: Use a pod annotation to request additional CPUs, as in the following example:

      [source,yaml]
      ----
      metadata:
        annotations:
          io.katacontainers.config.hypervisor.default_vcpus: "16"
      ----
