Hello Sudhir,

We'd better here not hard code the command that getting CPU count. As KVM supports not
only Linux&  Windows, but also others say Unix/BSD.
A recommended method could be define it in config file for different platforms:

- @Linux:
     verify_resources:
         count_cpu_cmd = grep processor /proc/cpuinfo

- @Windows:
     verify_resources:
         count_cpu_cmd = systeminfo (here I would not suggest we use 'systeminfo'
                                     for catching M$ guest's memory size)

+        for line in output.split('\n'):
+            if 'processor' in line:
+                real_vcpus = real_vcpus + 1

If you want just to count the number of processors, count using: "/bin/grep -c processor /proc/cpuinfo" However, I feel there's more data we could get from the output - such as the topology (sockets/cores/threads) and cpuid level and flags which we should look at .

+
+        output = session.get_command_output("cat /proc/meminfo")

/bin/grep MemTotal /proc/meminfo
Y.

For catching memory size of Linux guests, I prefer command 'dmidecode' which can
catch memory size exactly in MB.

+        for line in output.split('\n'):
+            if 'MemTotal' in line:
+                real_mem_kb = long(line.split()[1])
+        real_mem_mb = real_mem_kb / 1024
+
+    elif params.get("guest_os_type") == "Windows":
+        # Windows takes long time to display output for systeminfo
+        output = session.get_command_output("systeminfo", timeout =
150, internal_timeout = 50)
+        for line in output.split('\n'):
+            if 'Processor' in line:
+                real_vcpus = int(line.split()[1])
+
+        for line in output.split('\n'):
+            if 'Total Physical Memory' in line:
+               real_mem_mb = long("".join("%s" % k for k in
line.split()[3].split(',')))
So many slice and split operations can easy results in problems.
To catch memory of Windows guests, I recommend we use 'wmic memphysical' which
can dump memory size in KB exactly.


Meanwhile, we also need to verify guest's NICs' count and their(its) model,
hard disk(s)'s count&  model etc. Therefore I think we need a case to verify
them together.

I had wrote such test couples of days before. I also ran it several times.
Please comment on it when I post it here later. Thanks,

This patch adds a test for verifying whether the number of cpus and amount
of memory as seen inside a guest is same as allocated to it on the qemu
command line.
