At the moment I have the following in my Domain XML, to pin the first physical 3 cores to corresponding virtual cores. My question though, is how do I know which vcpus are siblings for a given topology specified in <cpu><topology>...</cpu></topology>?

<vcpu placement='static' cpuset="1-6">6</vcpu>

<cputune>
    <vcpupin vcpu="0" cpuset="0"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="1" cpuset="6"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="2" cpuset="1"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="3" cpuset="7"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="4" cpuset="2"/>
    <vcpupin vcpu="5" cpuset="8"/>
</cputune>

Thanks for the help!

Hello, I was hoping someone help me regarding my KVM Domain XML file. I have a 1 socket, 6 core processor with hyperthreading. I wanted to pin 3 full cores (6 threads on 3 cores) to my KVM instance with a 1-1 mapping (so that the KVM instance has 3 cores and 6 total threads). I thus used the following in my xml file:

<cpu mode='host-model> <topology sockets='1' cores='3' threads='2'/> </cpu>

I know what physical cpu ids are siblings (share the same processor cores) through $(cat /proc/cpu) or $(virsh capabilities).  However, in the <cputune> section, when pinning vcpus ids to physical cpus, I need to know which vcpu ids are "siblings" (which vcpu ids share the same virtual core). I would imagine vcpu ids 0 & 1 are siblings, 2 & 3 are siblings etc, but I cannot find anywhere in the documentation which confirms this.

Could someone please help?
Many thanks!
