[OpenStack] Guest OS shows just one CPU core instead of two

 

Hi,

I am running Folsom 2.2 with a KVM compute node. When I launch a windows
instance with flavor that has 2 VCPUs and 2Gb RAM, the guest seems the RAM
fine but not the 2 CPUs. It reports only one Virtual processor. Whne I look
at the command line options with which KVM has launched the instance, I see
that in -smp argument, sockets is set to 2 and core is set to 1. How can I
get the core to be 2 so that the guest OS can see it?
