Hi All,
Scientific Linux 6.1 x64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.2.x86_64
My XP-Pro guest will only let me use two CPUs. Is there a way I can tell Virt-Manager to use one CPU with six cores instead of four separate CPUs?
I can manually insert things with virsh edit KVM-WinXP
Currently, I have: <vcpu>6</vcpu>
I found an example of a run string:
-smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1
But I will be darned if I can figure out the virsh xml syntax.
Many thanks, -T

Yes under advanced in cpu in virt manager are socket /core settings. i use a fedora virt manager to connect to sl61 libvirt. more options that way.
I configured my processor in virt-mamager: CPU's: Current Allocation: 2 Manual set CPU Topology: Sockets: 1 Cores: 6 Threads: 1 or from my XML file <vcpu>1</vcpu> <cpu> <topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='1'/> </cpu> I still get two CPUs in my guest XP-Pro. What am I doing wrong? -T
