Description Andrew Dahms 2014-07-29 03:30:38 UTC
This feature introduces support for large virtual machines whose resources must be split over several hosts. This is a complicated bug that will require some research into NUMA and how to interact with NUMA nodes in a Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization environment.

This will involve working on both the Administration Guide (likely the 'Resource Allocation' tab of the 'New Virtual Machine' and 'Edit Virtual Machine' windows), the REST API in that it is possible to view the NUMA topology of a virtual machine, and possible the User Guide as well, given that topics on creating and editing virtual machines are also included there.

  * "You can also view the host's NUMA topology in the Administration Portal by selecting the host from the Hosts tab and clicking NUMA Support" - you can see this button only in case if host has at least two NUMA nodes.

except this one, all other things looks good.

Comment 18 Andrew Dahms 2016-02-02 23:52:49 UTC
Assigning Byron as the QA contact.
