Error: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid): Unsupported cluster parameter musn't be specified as 1 Description of problem: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid): Unsupported clusters parameter mustn't be specified as 1 VM does not start What I've tried so far to fix: - Removed the offending `clusters="1"` parameter in the XML, both via virsh edit and virt-manager but the sucker comes back every time! - Creating a completely new VM from scratch, just keeping the qcow2 for Windows. What happens then is funny: The initial setup goes well. Machine type automatically gets set to q35 version 9.0. After setting up my cores (pinning) for the VM (7C/14T for the VM 1C/2T for host), there is no "clusters" parameter anymore. So the first start went well. After a RESTART of the whole host machine and subsequent launch of the VM guess what happened? The "clusters" thing is back in full swing. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create Windows 11 VM with virt-manager 2. Try to do core pinning and setting up the following in virt manager before - Copy CPU configuration from host (host-passthrough) - Manually set CPU structure via GUI to 1 Socket, 7 Cores, 2 Threads on an 8 Core (in my case 11900k) 3. Observe result in XML being: `` Again, the "clusters" entry leads to the VM not starting. Removing it doesn't work, it comes back straight away. I tried in virt-manager as well as with virsh edit. Additional information: My core pinning for reference: ``` 14 1 ```
