[ovirt-users] Understand CPU Socket Cores and VCPU

[Taste-Of-IT]

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.
