Re: number of cores
Thx Dag for confirmation.
Speaking about CPU cores - I do have one "problem" which not sure is
possible to solve in meaningful way
2 x 8 core Intel Xeon E5 2.6GHz nominally (with HT enabled), with burst to
3.4 GHz ( but ! only a few cores can burst to that 3.4 - not all at the
same time !) - and CloudStack reports my host as 32 x 3.4GHz (instead of
32 x 2.6 GHz)
(not sure from where does ACS extract this 3.4GHz info... - effectively my
host CPUs are overprovisioned here by 3.4 / 2.6 = 1.30 (30%
overprovisioning)
One note, we do have CPU governor set to high performance etc...
Any opinion ?
Cheers
