cat /proc/cpuinfo
lshw -class processor
As specified you can use this command to get information
But with KVM virtualization you will not get information about the CPU being used in host node.
For that you will have to ask your provider.
Well, not entirely correct. That depends on the setup of the node.
Is it possible with solusvm?
No idea, idiotic design if it isn't.
Alright, well I've worked with proxmox and Guest VM does not show the details of host node.
We do on our Proxmox setup. It's possible to setup from the Proxmox GUI if you have access to that. Not that's it very important, but still...

This mean that I have just one core or two?
Better do
cat /proc/cpuinfo
and count the cpu cores numbers from 0CPU passthrough is a feature of the virtualization itself and not something solusvm needs to support. However, it does support it. See this to understand how it is set: https://libvirt.org/formatdomain.html#elementsCPU
Thank you, I will look into this.

Looks like it, but that's a nice one. Are you paying for more than one core?
If I'm reading it correctly, it's 12 cores
It's a fucking VPS. I doubt it has "12 cores".
@NANO Is it OpenVZ ?
Just one. This is the output from my single core Aruba VPS

Are those cores from the host node? The E5-1650 has 6 cores (12 threads with H/T)

Sadly however with solusvm if you install from ISO you default to qemu CPU (And IDE disk drivers), so while it supports it you have to manually update each vm (and reboot) on a per VPS basis which is just silly.
The issue with this is that customers unless they specifically know this and know how solusvm works in detail (why would they) then they get fairly significantly worse performance and it puts a needless load on the host node for emulation.
I logged an improvement request for it as the support to set the defaults is already present for templates but @OnApp_Terry said that it was by design and rejected the request.
This line
siblings : 12 core id : 0 cpu cores : 6
6 physical core. With HT make it 12...
At least i think so.
Also important to note, however, is that if your provider is overselling their boxes you may not be able to max a core to 100% usage. Or if they're CPU throttling, you may also not be able to reach 100% CPU usage. I'm assuming you want to know the host CPU cores to determine your performance. However the best way to test the performance of your VPS would probably be to test how it performs with the applications you want to run, rather than looking up the CPU model.
Fixed it for you. The core count is for the processor, not what is allotted to the vps. That's still 1 core.
Yeah, with OVZ you will see the hostnode numbers of cores, but with KVM you will see what is really allocated to your VPS...
oops , just checked it out.
you are right , sorry , didn't know about this.
and thanks , new thing learnt
I was asking because I bought vps with 2 cores and just got one by error, the provider fixed the problem.
Yes, OpenVZ
