Eric, I sent you numbers from KVM, Ubuntu 14.04 (qemu/libvrti from Ubuntu
logs prior to clicking the "FINISH" button in the VM creation wizard..
Post by Eric GreenI am with KVM.
I am sure itâs the core count preventing me from starting VMâs because
when I hack the database to tell it I have 48 cores rather than 24 cores on
my hosts, I can then start the VM.
The only thing the logs say is that I canât create a new VM due to lack of
resources. Then it quits saying that when I hack the database. Note that
under 4.9.2 (what I reverted back to), Memory is at 49%, CPU is at 41%,
Primary Storage is at 5%, and Secondary Storage is at 5%. All other
resources arenât even 1% used (I set up # of vlans, shared network IPâs,
etc. fairly large because I expect to grow the cluster in the future). 4.9
doesnât list CPU cores. Under 4.11.1 those measures were the same.
I am running KVM under Centos 7. It may be that the KVM allocator works
different from the VMware allocator?

Andrija - not sure about your 3.4GHz cores - must a be a simplified lookup
somewhere making assumptions.
Eric - have just tried your scenario in my 4.11.2RC5 lab (admittedly with
VMware, not KVM) - and I can see my core allocation keeps going up, e.g. at
the moment it sits at 166% - 10 out of 6 cores used. However it doesn't
stop me starting new VMs (only using 30-40% CPU and memory).
Are you sure it's the core count preventing you from starting VMs? What do
the logs say? (Also keep in mind your system VMs are now using more
resources that before).

Post by Andrija PanicHi Ugo,
Why would you want to do this, just curious ?
I believe it's not possible, but anyway (at least with KVM, probably
same
Post by Andrija Panicfor other hypervisors) it doesn't even makes sense/use, since when
deploying a VM, ACS query host free/unused number of MHz (GHz), so
it's not

I think you are misunderstanding the question. I have 72 cores in my
cluster. Each of my hosts has 24 cores. With 4.9.2, I can provision 10
virtual machines, each of which is programmed with 8 cores, meaning 80
cores total. They on average are using only 25% of the CPU available to
them (they need to be able to burst) and my compute servers on average
are only 40% CPU used so that is not a problem.
When I tried upgrading to 4.11.1, the dashboard showed a new value "#
of CPU Cores" in red and showed that I had more cores provisioned for
virtual machines than available in the cluster (80 versus 72 available).
Cloudstack would not launch new virtual machines. I shut down two
virtual machines, and now I can launch one, but not the second because I
would need 80 cores total in my cluster. I cannot launch all 10 virtual
machines because I would need 80 cores total. I know this because I
tried it. I then used MySQL to tell Cloudstack that each of my hosts has
48 cores (144 total), and suddenly I can launch all of my virtual machines.
Is this a bug in 4.11.1? Or is this expected behavior? If expected
behavior, is there a way to over-provision "total # of cores used" other
than to go into MySQL and tell it that my hosts have more cores than
they in fact have? (Note that my service offerings are limited to 8
cores max, so there's no way to launch a single VM with more cores than
exists on a physical host, since all my hosts have 24 cores).
Post by Andrija PanicPost by Ugo VasiHi all,
in the dashboard of an ACS installation vesion 4.11.1.0 (Ubuntu
16.04
Post by Andrija PanicPost by Ugo Vasiwith KVM hypervisor), the new entry "# of CPU Cores" appears.
Is it possible to over-provision like for MHz or storage?
Thanks
