Hi
I tried to convert virtual machine from Microsoft virtual server to ESX 3 Standard edition
The virtual machine operating system is windows 2003 standard edition and i have uninstalled the Microsoft add on's tools before preforming the convert .
After the convert completed successfully and the VMware tools installed. I try to add more CPU's to the new virtual machine
After adding and rebooting the VM there is only one CPU in the task manager although there are 2 CPU drivers in device manager.
What can this be?
You'll need to change the HAL from Uniprocessor to Multiprocessor to take advantage of multiple vCPU's.
Open Device Manager, expand Computer, and change the driver from Uniprocessor to Multiprocessor. Then reboot.
You should then be able to use both vCPUs.
Jasemccarty hi
I can't find the Multiprocessor driver (HAL) to change the device for
The Computer device is on "Advances Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC" and the only option to change it is to "Standard PC"
Where i can find the Multiprocessor driver to change to ?
If you right click on ACPI and select "Update driver" and then "Install from a list or specific location" and "Don't search" you should be able to find the ACPI Multiprocessor from the list presented.
On regular machine that converted from physical i can find this option (right click on ACPI and select "Update driver" and then "Install from a list or specific location" and "Don't search" you should be able to find the ACPI Multiprocessor)
But in this machine (that converted from microsoft virtual server) i have the option to change only to standard PC...
I'm having the same issue. Did you ever resolve this?

If there is no path to switch, you may be left with only the choice to do an in-place-upgrade install.
