The Value VCPUs_Max Must Be a Multiple of This Field in XCP-NG
-
@wirestyle22 Looks like a Xen Orchestra bug. Xenserver itself doesn't care if you do 2 cores on 1 cpu or 1 core on 2 cpus.

@Pete-S Right

I haven't seen this, but I am using XCP-ng and I often can do the VMs through the XCP-ng client too.
-
I generally just keep the default vCPU config and thus haven't seen this myself either.
It's possible that this is a bug though. With that @olivier would need to know exactly what version of xo-web and xo-server you're running, how you built your instance etc as well.
-
My initial thought is that the configuration is saying how many socket do you want this guest to have, which then doesn't make sense when you say 1 CPU with 2 cores, when you have 2 listed in the above field.
-
You can either have 2 vcpu and follow the default host config or you can have something that divides evenly based on the number of filled sockets your host has.
-
Based on this the field is saying VCPUs_max has to be a multiple of cores per socket
And later this VCPUs_max must be a multiple of this field meaning what you're telling the system to create this guest with, doesn't make logical sense.
If you wanted the guest to have 2 CPU with 1 core each, you have to use the settings as shown in the second image. If you wanted this guest to have more CPU, set it to something like 8 and have the Topology be 2 cpu with 4 core each. Ideally mimic the hardware that your host has though.

I'm guessing XenCenter is just running some behind the scenes magic and changing it to work, where XO is telling you to fix the issue.

Tags updated as this is XCP-NG.

@scottalanmiller It's not. I changed after I posted this.
