> I've a VM that's running (Windows 2008 Standard R2 64bit) which was working on a 4 cores offer. when I upgraded the service offer to 8 cores and checked the VM I noticed that it still have only 4 cores !!
> I dig a little bit on the windows machine itself, and found that it see the CPUs as sockets not cores and this version of windows support only up to 4 cores.
> when I checked the vm XML file on the host I saw that the CPU is exported as following :
> <vcpu>8</vcpu>
> and it should be exported as following:
> <vcpu>1</vcpu> <cpu>
> <topology sockets='1' cores='8' threads='1'/>
> </cpu>
> otherwise in such systems where you are limited with the sockets number you cannot have the required service offer.
