Hi Daniel et.al,
Running into the following errors when attempting to start up a multi-vNUMA node VM backed by 1G huge page per physical NUMA node. (details below)
error: unsupported configuration: Per-node memory binding is not supported with this QEMU
(or in another case)
error: unsupported configuration: huge pages per NUMA node are not supported with this QEMU
What am I missing ?
Thanks!
