Can't assign physical cores to guest

Post by rjantz »

Hello,
I'm running VB 4.3.14 on Server 2003 64-bit, dual Opteron 2439 SE. I know there's confusion about physical cores vs. logical cores, but I believe each of these processors have 6 physical cores. On the host the VB cpu slider reports only 2 available cpus (4 max) and the log reports 2 physical host cores and 12 logical cores, but I think that's wrong. Attached is one of the guest logs.

Thanks
