Numa and virtual sockets question

Is NUMA  not enabled on your host already?

Do you not have currently 4 vCPU allocated x 1 Core ?

The configuration I was using is 2 X virtual sockets with 4 X vcpu to each socket.  However my host has 2 cpus, 6 cores per cpu, 24 logical.

So if I was using sticking to numa, I would assign something like 6 virtual sockets and 1 vcpu each?

That would be correct, always assign vCPUs (not cores!)

Can you just clarify that? when you say always assign vCPUs and not cores.  I have H/T on my cpus, so say I want my machine to have two cores (sockets) for licensing reasons, how can I be sure that I'm staying in the numa boundary by amount of vcpus I assign or have I already stepped outside of it?

Is there an example you could give that would be correct with numa and my host, where I have 8 vCPU and at least 2 vSockets?

Thanks!
