[virt-tools-list] virt-install does not work on 24-CPU machine ?

[Laurent Pouilloux]

Hi,

I am trying to place VM on specific core using virt-install but it seems 
there is a problem with core number >12.
The virsh capabilities returns:
<topology>
       <cells num='4'>
         <cell id='0'>
           <cpus num='6'>
             <cpu id='0'/>
             <cpu id='1'/>
             <cpu id='2'/>
             <cpu id='3'/>
             <cpu id='4'/>
             <cpu id='5'/>
           </cpus>
         </cell>
         <cell id='1'>
           <cpus num='6'>
             <cpu id='6'/>
             <cpu id='7'/>
             <cpu id='8'/>
             <cpu id='9'/>
             <cpu id='10'/>
             <cpu id='11'/>
           </cpus>
         </cell>
         <cell id='2'>
           <cpus num='6'>
             <cpu id='18'/>
             <cpu id='19'/>
             <cpu id='20'/>
             <cpu id='21'/>
             <cpu id='22'/>
             <cpu id='23'/>
           </cpus>
         </cell>
         <cell id='3'>
           <cpus num='6'>
             <cpu id='12'/>
             <cpu id='13'/>
             <cpu id='14'/>
             <cpu id='15'/>
             <cpu id='16'/>
             <cpu id='17'/>
           </cpus>
         </cell>
       </cells>
     </topology>
which is OK.
When I run
virt-install -d --import --connect qemu:///system --nographics 
--noautoconsole --name=test --network 
network=default,mac=00:01:01:ab:cd:ed --ram=256 --disk 
path=/tmp/vm-base.img,device=disk,format=raw,size=2,cache=none 
--cpuset=0,1,2
everything is ok.
virt-install -d --import --connect qemu:///system --nographics 
--noautoconsole --name=test --network 
network=default,mac=00:01:01:ab:cd:ed --ram=256 --disk 
path=/tmp/vm-base.img,device=disk,format=raw,size=2,cache=none --cpuset=13
I have a message telling me that the cpuset's numbers must be less than pCPU


My machine is a bi-AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 6164 HE (12 core/cpu) with 
debian squeeze. I have tried with the squeeze packages as well as the 
wheezy one but it still fails.
ii  libvirt-bin 0.9.12-11                    programs for the libvirt 
library
ii  libvirt0 0.9.12-11                    library for interfacing with 
different virtualization systems
ii  python-libvirt 0.9.12-4~bpo60+1             libvirt Python bindings
ii  qemu-kvm 1.1.2+dfsg-6                 Full virtualization on x86 
hardware
ii  virt-viewer 0.2.1-1                      Displaying the graphical 
console of a virtual machine
ii  virtinst 0.600.1-3                    Programs to create and clone

Is this a debian related bug or no ?

I have also post a bugreport if you are interested in.

Thank you in advance for any answer I could have.
