[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to add more than 16 vCPUs to running VM

These are Dell R630s with 2 physical CPUs. Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v3 @ 2.60GHz CPU Cores per Socket: 8 Ooooh, so even though there are 32 logical cores, the physical CPUs are quad core. Is there a downside to enabling "Count Threads As Cores" in the cluster configuration? Why would that not be enabled by default?

As far as I remember you cannot assign more vCPU than the number of physical cores you have, unless you enable "Count Threads As Cores" in the cluster configuration, and even than, the number of vCPUs is limited to the number of SMT threads you have. - Gilboa On Sun, Jun 4, 2023 at 6:17 PM David White via Users <users(a)ovirt.org&gt; wrote: > *I have a fully patched / up-to-date engine:* > Software Version:4.5.4-1.el8 > > *And a fully patched, up-to-date host.* > [root@cha3-storage dwhite]# yum info ovirt-host > Last metadata expiration check: 1:33:40 ago on Sun 04 Jun 2023 09:28:39 > AM EDT. > Installed Packages > Name : ovirt-host > Version : 4.5.0 > Release : 3.el8 > Architecture : x86_64 > Size : 11 k > Source : ovirt-host-4.5.0-3.el8.src.rpm > Repository : @System > From repo : centos-ovirt45 > > The host has 32GB of RAM, and there's only 1 VM on this host. > When I try to add more CPUs to the VM from the manager UI, I get the > following error: > > - *The requested number of vCPUs is not available on the host the VM > is running on* > > What's going on here, and why can I not add more vCPUs to this VM? > > Sent with Proton Mail <https://proton.me/> secure email. > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html > oVirt Code of Conduct: > https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: > https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/5ANM4TY6DOY... >
