             Summary: set cpu topology for libvirt VMs
                 Key: VCL-1104
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VCL-1104
             Project: VCL
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: vcld (backend)
            Reporter: Josh Thompson
             Fix For: 2.5.1


Many (all?) versions of Windows only support a maximum of 2 cpu sockets but can 
have many cores per socket. libvirt presents vcpus as single core cpu sockets 
by default. This results in Windows reservations on KVM hosts only seeing 2 
cpus even if more are assigned. Setting the topology in the cpu section of the 
xml such that there are 2 sockets with the number of cores evenly divided 
between them allows for all assigned cpus to show up (unless the VM has an odd 
number assigned, in which case, it will be one less; the frontend should be 
updated to require 1 core or an even number of cores).
