Dear all:
I have been trying this for whole afternoon and whole night. I have
installed windows 7 as guest in kvm using virt-manager which use qemu. And
after I alloc it 6 vcpus, I noticed win7 only see 2 cpus in task manager. But
in device manager, it shows 6 cpus. After google a lot, looks
Try setting sockets=6,cores=1? I had this issue when running Solaris as
guest. For some reason Solaris never detected any of the cores. It could
only detect the sockets.

Thanks for reply.
I think no need to try sockets=2. I read windows 7 only support UP to 2 socket,
this is hard limit. So we need to use cores to workaround this.

Aside from verifying/supporting the previous posts which state that a
Desktop OS like Win7 only supports 2 CPUs, I wonder why the effort to
even deploy on multiple CPU. Today's OS (all I know of) fully take
advantage of all physical CPUs no matter how many (or few) virtual
CPUs are configured. Th
