vmware esx licensing limit on vCPUs per VM
- by maruti
when a server has more than 8 cores per CPU (total 16 logical procs) and ESX standard license is applied, what does it mean for VM performance? Since each VM on host is allowed only 4 vCPUs max
VMWare ESX/ESXi limits the no of vCPUs per guest VM depending on the license:
standard Lic = 4 vCPU
Advanced Lic = 4 since i dont know exact number
is there need to upgrade to Advanced version for any perf benefits if none of VMs have workloads that need more than 4 vCPUs?
