Hi Everyone,
I'd like to first state I have reviewed this Link.

I have tried to install these 2 modules below:
Code:
# modprobe acpiphp
# modprobe pci_hotplug
I receive a fatal error when I try to install the modules. I believe these are now built into the latest Proxmox kernel. Here are the following pveversions:

I have also put in the hotplug cpu rule as well without luck.

Code:
/lib/udev/rules.d/80-hotplug-cpu.rules
 Put in code below
 SUBSYSTEM=="cpu", ACTION=="add", TEST=="online", ATTR{online}=="0", ATTR{online}="1"

I have restarted the udev, didn't work, rebooted system, and sort of worked??? My Ubuntu desktop wouldn't add cpu cores but it did unplug them.

I have NUMA setup on all my VMs. Hotplug in the options of each VM are all selected. I have ran the QEMU Agent on Windows and Ubuntu and the Virt-IO drivers .exe within Windows. I have upped the socket and core count for a top-end ceiling and am adjusting VCPU's.

At this point I have read several articles and forums and each one is basically saying to install the modules. Everything else is working flawlessly though, it's only the CPU hotplug that is not working.
