Re: [ovirt-users] Understand CPU Socket Cores and VCPU
Hello Michal,
and thanks for your reply. Sorry its not clear enough for me. So let me
do some examples. Situation are still 4 Cores 8 Threads. So for a normal
usecase i would configure 1vCPU with 1vSocket, right? But i can also
configure 2vCPU with 1vSocket? So the vSocket is like the physical CPU
Socket while the vCPU is like the Threads of the CPU, right? Physicaly
1Socket has 2Threads, so i could configre 4vServer with each 2vCPU and
1vSocket, right?
thx again
Taste
thx.

in general - as many sockets as the number of cores you have
available, minus a couple for the host OS(one or two should be ok)
you can run more, but then they will compete for the core and
performance would decrease. But if those VMs are not CPU intensive it
may very well be ok (you just need to disable the default cluster
policy which limits the size to number of hosts’s cores)
