Prior to XenServer 6.5, in order to use more than two cores per socket (allowing for 4 cores or more) on a virtual
machine, you must configure server from the command line to enable multiple cores per socket. Use the following
command for XenServer console to enable up to 4 cores per socket and set the virtual machine to use 4 cores at next
boot.

xe vm-param-set uuid= platform:cores-per-socket=4 VCPUs-max=8
VCPUs-at-startup=4
