I am trying to figure out how to set the number of CPUs per socket in my
VMs. My install of Win2003Server Enterprise should support at least 16
CPUs, but it sees only 8. I was told this is because by default, Xen 3
gives the guest OS vcpus at 1 per socket and W2k3E supports "8 sockets."
How can I set Xen to give more than one CPU per socket? I have 32 CPUs
available (8 quad-core opterons).
