Hello,
CoresPerSocket is not being honored when used with 'deployment option' as described at https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2013/08/flexible-ovf-deployments-using.html
We want 1 CPU with 16 cores. My understanding is that VirtualQuantity/CoresPerSocket gives the number of CPUs. The following works when used without 'deployment option' -
<Item>
<rasd:AllocationUnits>hertz * 10^6</rasd:AllocationUnits>
<rasd:Description>Number of Virtual CPUs</rasd:Description>
<rasd:ElementName>8 virtual CPU(s)</rasd:ElementName>
<rasd:InstanceID>1</rasd:InstanceID>
<rasd:ResourceType>3</rasd:ResourceType>
<rasd:VirtualQuantity>16</rasd:VirtualQuantity>
<vmw:CoresPerSocket ovf:required="false">16</vmw:CoresPerSocket>
</Item>
However, when used with the following deployment option 'medium', we get 2 CPUs with 8 cores per socket instead of 1 CPU with 16 cores per socket.

Is there anything wrong in how this is specified?
thanks!
