Hellow
sorry for my bad english...
I have ESXi 5.1 installed with free licence on 1 physical procesor(unlimited cores)
my procesor has 4cores but whole vmWare using only ONE core for virtualizing (propably).
it says capacity is 4x2,4 Ghz but summary of whole usage never go more as 2.7Ghz
I run couple of VM with diferent number of virtual vCPU.
any suggestions? please?
my sumarry config is:
Manufacturer: | Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd. | ||||||||||||
Model: | EP45-DS4 | ||||||||||||
Processors: | 4 CPU x 2,4 GHz | ||||||||||||
Processor Type: | Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz | ||||||||||||
Hyperthreading: | Inactive | ||||||||||||
Total Memory: | 8,00 GB | ||||||||||||

License shows 1 physical CPU but the CPUs are used accordingly whatever the cores are available.
Thanks,
MS
CPU usage on this page is a summation of CPU used in MHz by all running VMs
It doesn't correlate to which core is used.
You can check with perfcharts and esxtop how cores are utilized.
