Hi All,

Scientific Linux 6.1 x64
qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.160.el6_1.2.x86_64

My XP-Pro guest will only let me use two CPUs.
Is there a way I can tell Virt-Manager to use
one CPU with six cores instead of four separate
CPUs?

I can manually insert things with
virsh edit KVM-WinXP

Currently, I have:
<vcpu>6</vcpu>

I found an example of a run string:

-smp 2,sockets=2,cores=1,threads=1

But I will be darned if I can figure out the virsh xml syntax.

Many thanks,
-T

I configured my processor in virt-mamager:

    CPU's: Current Allocation: 2
    Manual set CPU Topology:
        Sockets: 1
        Cores: 6
        Threads: 1

or from my XML file

   <vcpu>1</vcpu>
   <cpu>
       <topology sockets='1' cores='6' threads='1'/>
   </cpu>

I still get two CPUs in my guest XP-Pro.

What am I doing wrong?
