I'm trying to understand the field "CPU Pinning topology" in the "Ressource Allocation" tab, that looks it needed by High Performance VM. I have this hardware: # lscpu Architecture:          x86_64 CPU(s):                48 On-line CPU(s) list:   0-47 Thread(s) per core:    2 Core(s) per socket:    12 Socket(s):             2 NUMA node(s):          2 And I want to run a 22 vCPU vm on it, so no SMT, and 11 vCPU mapped to each socket. The only explanation I found about this field content was here: https://rhv.bradmin.org/ovirt-engine/docs/Virtual_Machine_Management_Guid... and I can wrap my head around it. Do I need to given explicit mapping for all the 22 vCPU ? And dig in lscpu -e or numactl -H to find how each pCPU is identified ?
