Here is another case:

    # xm info
    ...
    nr_cpus                : 48
    nr_nodes               : 8
    cores_per_socket       : 12
    threads_per_core       : 1

This HP BL685 G7 (4 socket x 12 cores).

Actually sockets_per_node = 0.5. Xen calculates it correctly.

Should we should s 0.5 for sockets_per_node? Or just ignore sockets_per_node?

Thanks,
