hi everybody
a qemu-kvm guest gets 16 cpus and Windows in "Device
Manager" sees all sixteeen
but "Task Manager" shows only 4, the same "System"
properties say "(4 processors)"
I'd like to learn a bit about this - is it some sort of
"resources management" on the libvirt/qemu causing this? And
what does it do to a guest performance-wise side?
it's on Scientific L 7,
qemu-kvm-1.5.3-60.el7_0.7.x86_64
libvirt-1.1.1-29.el7_0.1.x86_64

Windows has limits on the number of CPUs it can use based on the license
level you have (Standard, Enterprise, etc). You need to present the
CPUs as two physical CPUs with multiple cores to get around this.

well, I've tried new to guest's config:
<topology sockets='1' cores='16' threads='1'/>
no change but I have also tried:
<topology sockets='4' cores='4' threads='1'/>
which gets all sixteen cores to "Task Manager" performance tab.
This win2008 is also an eval version so maybe why it did that.
I wonder if tampering with socket/cores/threads has any
impact on guest performance?
thanks.
