Re: [libvirt-users] Windows Guest ignores CPU topology settings on Ubuntu Lucid host

I try to assign 8 host cores to Windows 2003 Server Standard guest.
Because this OS version has a limit of 4 sockets, I have to change the
CPU topology. My guest definition:
<vcpu>8</vcpu>
<cpu match='minimum'>
<model>core2duo</model>
<topology sockets='4' cores='1' threads='2'/>
</cpu>
doesn't work as expected. I should have 4 CPUs in the Device Manager and
8 CPU charts in Task Manager, but I have the opposite. And no matter
what numbers I set in the topology, the guest always detects 8 sockets.
What am I doing wrong?
libvirt 0.7.5
qemu-kvm 0.12.3
Probably this ^^^. That's rather ancient libvirt and qemu. Try to upgrade.
