Description of problem: Currently, it shows only the number of cores. Possible Improvements: 1. Considering sockets and threads, a proposal is to show the number of cores times of socket. 2. all places should include this change: template list/detail/edit page, catalog, vm overview/details page. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
Hi Stu, What's your take on this issue? Currently we show and edit only cores, if you have 2 cores and 2 sockets we show only the cores (2), what should be displayed here?
Ideally we should ask less possibly confusing questions. As long as sockets and threads are 1, then the UI will yield the expected result. If those are values are not 1, they'll be multiplied by the number of cores selected (maybe a warning would be in order).
Created attachment 1921301 [details] cpu number I just did a check on 4.12, the Total CPU number is actually cores * sockets * threads. But if editing the CPU, it loads with the cores number, which causes confusion. Suggestion: 1. add a descriptive text to "CPU | Memory", explain how the CPU is calculated. 2. change "CPU" to "CPU cores"/"Cores" in the edit modal.
Hi Ronen, We've talked about this issue last week and you said you will come up with a solution with the backend team, do you have any updates?
Created attachment 1927990 [details] change CPUs to CPU cores
Created attachment 1927991 [details] add popover to tell user how the CPU and Mem are calculated

Discussed the issue with Ronen, Yifat and Foday, the agreement is: 1. add a popover to the title telling user how the CPUs are calculated 2. change CPUs to "CPU cores" in the modal It apply to template page and VM page.
It will be nice if the popover will be able to show the VM / template values of threads and sockets
