Hi there, wondering if someone may be able to help me. I've created a Windows 10 VM on Freenas 11-U2 but am unable to allocate more than two cores to it (I can allocate them in freenas but windows shows max of 2 cores). I understand this as a result of Win 10s 2 CPU limitation and byhve's process of allocating a core as an entire CPU.
From my searches around here I found that you have to add the following tunables to get around this issue:
hw.vmm.topology.cores_per_package=4
hw.vmm.topology.threads_per_core=1
However I get an error when submitting those tunables :
The GUI says the tunable is enabled even after the error, but there is no change in the number of cores in the VM; even after restarts.
My CPU is a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E3-1231 v3 if that makes a difference.
Thanks in advance
