Hello,
I recently upgraded our cluster from 4.3 to 4.5 (4.5.1.3-1.el8), I raised the cluster
compatibility afterwards to 4.7 as well. I noticed that the CPU hot plugging does not work
above 16 CPU's if cluster compatibility is set to 4.6 or 4.7.
Error I get is:
Failed to hot set number of CPUS to VM testVM-3. Underlying error message: invalid
argument: requested vcpus is greater than max allowable vcpus for the live domain: 32 >
16
Issue here I believe is that the MaxNumOfVmSockets values set on the engine per cluster
version is not correctly set on libvirt when VM is started.
My values on the engine:
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.2
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.3
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.4
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.5
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 64 version: 4.6
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 10000 version: 4.7
Values on libvirt for VM's for all cluster compatibility versions:
4.3
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>32</vcpu>
4.4
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>32</vcpu>
4.5
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>32</vcpu>
4.6
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>16</vcpu>
4.7
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>16</vcpu>
Is anyone else experiencing this issue (possible BUG)?
Regards,
David

It's most likely a feature. Starting with 4.6, the maximum number of
vCPUs is limited because it consumes resources even if the CPUs are not
plugged in. Adjusting sockets/cores/threads configuration of the VM to
put more than one vCPU on a socket or changing MaxNumOfCpusCoefficient
config value should help in your case.

Hello,
Not sure about the feature part. I additionally tested this on oVirt 4.4.10.7-1.el8 and it
works fine even if cluster compatibility there is set to 4.6.
Engine:
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.2
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.3
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.4
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.5
MaxNumOfVmSockets: 32 version: 4.6
VM:
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>32</vcpu>

Before oVirt 4.5, MaxNumOfCpusCoefficient was applied only if the
maximum number of the VM vCPU sockets was higher than 16. Now, it is
applied more strictly (although there are still some exceptions, which
is probably why you see 16 max vCPUs rather than 8). This means
MaxNumOfCpusCoefficient value cannot be ignored anymore in some
scenarios. If you need to hot plug more vCPUs than the number of the
initial vCPUs, you should change MaxNumOfCpusCoefficient.

Hello,
To confirm, changing MaxNumOfCpusCoefficient solved my issue.
<vcpu placement='static' current='4'>64</vcpu>
Thank you for the help.

David
