Am fine with that, makes sense.

It can be below message
"Currently vcpu hotplug not supported on Xenial, please try upgrade to Bionic 
to avail the support."

Optionally the second part of message can be added.

Looks like the we are hitting the second one, from the reference of this 
related bz comment for 17.04,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1667805/comments/9, cpu 
hotplug feature for pseries was not complete/had to use different 
approach(device_add instead of cpu-add) in qemu 2.5 version which xenial and 
due to the fix of initial issue reported here, we hit now with actual failure, 
though error message here is misleading.

>From my previous bug reports, have learnt that vcpu hotplug for pseries works 
>from zesty(17.04), reference,
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1670315 and I could not 
find any working reference for vcpu hotplug on xenial for pseries neither 
supported/not-supported statement from ubuntu wiki aswell.

If there are no plans to support vcpu hotplug for pseries in xenial, my 
suggestion would be having the error
statement while trying hotplug be improved saying hotplug is not supported with 
version of qemu/libvirt, or we can bring in all the necessary changes required 
for vcpu hotplug in xenial aswell.

please advice.

Thanks a lot for the continued support on this.

In general libvirt/cgroup should handle different system configs, this happens 
in one of my test systems
not sure if we have productions configs similar, like memoryless numa nodes.

Am fine to close this as won't fix but we need to document for the user
that "not to expect vcpu hotplug working in case they have memoryless
numa node", but am afraid if that is what we want to do?

:ast update was 7 months ago, perhaps because it probably should have been

There can a real possibility of having a memory less numa node as a
valid config of system provided the system does not have full
config(maximum memory possible for that system), which can cause these
functional issues that can be resolved by having this fix.

More over host numa node config affecting guest functional is
unacceptable, so it is good to have this fix applied, Thanks.
