Actually no, I don't think that's right. When pinning is enabled each vCPU will be affined to a single host CPU. What is showing below is what I would expect if the instance was using non-dedicated CPUs.

To the original poster, you should be using

'hw:cpu_policy': 'dedicated'

in your flavor extra-specs to enable CPU pinning. And you should enable the NUMATopologyFilter scheduler filter.

The pinning seems to have done what you asked for, but you probably
want to confine your vCPUs to NUMA nodes.

Sorry forgot to reply all :)

This is what i am getting

[root@compute-1 ~]# virsh vcpupin instance-00000043
VCPU: CPU Affinity
----------------------------------
   0: 2-3,6-7
   1: 2-3,6-7


Following numa info

[root@compute-1 ~]# numactl --hardware
available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 3 5 6
node 0 size: 2047 MB
node 0 free: 270 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 2 4 7
node 1 size: 2038 MB
node 1 free: 329 MB
node distances:
node   0   1
  0:  10  20
  1:  20  10

The pinning we set up goes indeed into the <cputune> block:

<vcpu placement='static'>32</vcpu>
  <cputune>
    <shares>32768</shares>
    <vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='0-7,16-23'/>
    <vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='0-7,16-23'/>
    …
<—

What does “virsh vcpupin <domain>” give for your instance?

I am running JUNO version with qemu-kvm-ev-2.1.2-23.el7_1.9.1.x86_64
on CentOS7.1

I am trying to configure CPU pinning because my application is cpu
hungry. this is what i did.

in /etc/nova/nova.conf

vcpu_pin_set=2,3,6,7


I have created aggregated host with pinning=true and created flavor
with pinning, after that when i start VM on Host following this i can
see in guest

...
...
<vcpu placement='static' cpuset='2-3,6-7'>2</vcpu>
...
...

But i am not seeing any <cputune> info.

Just want to make sure does my pinning working correctly or something
is wrong. How do i verify my pinning config is correct?
