Problem:
I’m provisioning several new servers network based with kickstart, sometimes I need to build a server with more than 1 core, eg 1 CPU and 4 core:
All steps went fine but I’ve only 1 CPU and 1 core available each time into the server, from vmware vcentre I’ve this:
and I’ve to change the core numbers manually and after that it works properly, eg. 1 CPU and 4 cores.
I’m running al old vmware esxi, version 6.0 and I’ve to use the Virtual Machine Version 8 (latest red hat for vm8 is 6) in order to be able to migrate the servers datastore…I don’t know if it will be a problem.
Expected outcome:
A VM with the required number of cores/cpu
Foreman and Proxy versions:
1.20.1
the same issue was present in 1.19.1
Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:
katello 3.9.1
the same issue was present in 3.8
Other relevant data:
The VM creation log seems correct: “cpus”=>“1”, “corespersocket”=>“4”,
