OVM: CPU Affinity After Live Migration of Virtual Machine on NUMA Systems (Doc ID 2225684.1)

Last updated on SEPTEMBER 07, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle VM - Version 3.2.1 to 3.4.6 [Release OVM32 to OVM34]
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure - Version N/A and later
Linux x86-64

By default, a VM guest starts up with vCPUs limited in one NUMA node.

After a live migration of a virtual machine between two servers with NUMA architecture, the CPU affinity is set to "any CPU" overall NUMA nodes.

As a result, the migrated virtual machine uses memory across multiple nodes, which degrades the performance of the virtual machine.
