A few Microsoft products are licensed per Processor, where a Processor can have up to 4 cores. If I set up a HVM machine with vcpus=4 on a quad core processor, how will the operating system see these? As a single Processor with 4 cores, or something else?

Re: [Xen-users] How does Windows see CPU layout under Xen?
If you set vcpus=4, Microsoft Windows will see 4 x single core CPUs. Virtual CPUs are (to my knowledge) always passed through as single core CPUs. -Nick>>> On 2008/01/20 at 04:54, "James Harper" <james.harper@bendigoit.com.au> wrote:A few Microsoft products are licensed per Processor, where a Processor can have up to 4 cores.
