In 4.10.1. Creating a High Performance Virtual Machine, Template, or Pool

https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/virtual_machine_management_guide/index.html#creating-a-high-performance-virtual-machine-template-or-pool

I need some help trying to understand this section, please see my comments "> inline".

Pinning topology:

The first two CPUs of each NUMA node are pinned.
> OK, so the first 2 pCPUs of the NUMA node are used for I/O and emulator threads.
If all vCPUs fit into one NUMA node of the host:
> Yes, they do ...
- The first two vCPUs are automatically reserved/pinned
  > Are the first 2 vCPUs automatically pinned to the I/O and Emulator thread pCPUs mentioned in previous point?
- The remaining vCPUs are available for manual vCPU pinning

<-- snip

So if I create a High Performance VM with 6 vCPUs, I should:

- Don't pin vCPUs 0 and 1

- Do pin vCPUs 2,3,4 and 5

All other High Performance VMs within the same NUMA node have their first 2 vCPUs automatically pinned (presumably to the I/O and emulator thread pCPUs)

What do you think?

Thanks
