- In Xenserver version 6.2 there is xapi call "host-cpu-info" in which we can get the "socket-count" per each host.

- In earlier versions of Xenserver 6.2 there is no such call so we do not counting cpu sockets for those hypervisors.

...

- Using Virsh command "nodeinfo" number of cpu sockets can be retrieved.

HyperV:

-We provide the number of physical cpu sockets per host and upon listing hosts we can count the number of cpu sockets for all hosts.

Hyper-V, Oracle VM, LXC:

- For these hypervisors we will list the number of host being managed. Retrieving socket information for these hypervisors may require domain experts for the corresponding hypervisor. Now we will give the number of hosts.

cpu_sockets int(10) unsigned DEFAULT NULL

API Changes

Changes to existing APIs

We will introduce
1) new parameter in listhost API call named "hypervisor"
2) new parameter in listhost response named "cpusockets"

...

In reponse we have new parameter value "cpusockets":1

UI changes

We show the following information in 'Infrastructure' tab.

...

For Xenserver 6.2 prior versions we are not counting number of sockets. For the remaining hypervisors OVM, Hyper-V, LXC require corresponding hypervisor experts to fill in the socket information
