Hello,
as stated in the subject, I am trying to combine the "dedicated" CPU Pinning Policy with vNUMA. My host has 2 sockets, 28 cores per socket and 2 threads per core. In each socket I allocated 128 hugepages of 1GB each. This is the output of "numactl --hardware":

I would like to dedicate one half of all the cores to a single guest. I created a VM with 2 sockets, 14 cores per socket and 2 threads per core, using the "dedicated" CPU Pinning Policy. If a set "NUMA Node Count" to zero, the VM starts and works flawlessy. However, all virtual cores are allocated in the first physical socket. If I set "NUMA Node Count" to 2 (without pinning vNUMA nodes  to host NUMA nodes) I cannot start the VM since I get the error message: "The host xyz did not satisfy internal filter CpuPinning because it doesn't have enough CPUs for the dedicated CPU policy that the VM is set with..     ". Same thing happens if I set "NUMA Node Count" to 1.

Am I doing something wrong ?
