Daniel P. Berrangé 9a578e1ac5 virtinst: prefer cores when exposing topology to the guest 
In real world silicon though it is rare to have high socket/die counts,
but common to have huge core counts.

Some OS will even refuse to use sockets over a certain count.

Thus we prefer to expose cores to the guest rather than sockets as the
default for missing fields.

This matches a recent change made in QEMU for new machine types

Virtual Machine Manager

virt-manager is a graphical tool for managing virtual machines via libvirt. Most usage is with QEMU/KVM virtual machines, but Xen and libvirt LXC containers are well supported. Common operations for any libvirt driver should work.

Several command line tools are also provided:

  • virt-install: Create new libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-clone: Duplicate existing libvirt virtual machines
  • virt-xml: Edit existing libvirt virtual machines/manipulate libvirt XML

For dependency info and installation instructions, see the INSTALL.md file. If you just want to quickly test the code from a git checkout, you can launch any of the commands like:

./virt-manager --debug ...
