We would like to run a container on a server, the reason being the COST of a Sybase license (it's by core), and what we can afford is a 4-core license. Now, the server's a nice Dell w/ 32 cores, so, ideally, what we want to do is set up containers, then, in one container, *only* have it see 4 cores, while the rest of the server, including (possibly) other containers, can see the other 28. The first try seems to have disabled *all* the cores other than those four.

You can do that with Virtual Box. I haven't tried it with anything else, but Virtual Box allows you to set (and change) the number of cores available to the session.
