[PATCH] vmx: allow an odd number of vCPUs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Most probably this was a limitation in older ESX versions, and it seems
it does not exist anymore in more recent versions; see the following
thread:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-May/msg02159.html
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2018-June/msg00043.html

Hence, allow an odd number (greater than 1) of vCPUs, since most
probably older versions of ESXi will error out anyway.
