ESXi 5.5 Free - Limitations

[kungpow]

What are the limitations in ESXi 5.5 Free?

The memory limit has been removed. What about physical CPUs? Can I have two physical 6 core CPUs?

Thanks

Unless I'm missing something, physical limitations are gone. You can have multiple CPUs with any number of cores up to the supported limits.

There is no limit on CPU limit and cores

aravinds3107 you linked the minimum requirements, not the limits.

Fact is: in 5.5 the RAM limit is gone, the 8 vCPU per VM limit is still there.

In the same webpage under specification limits are mentioned

To sum it up:

- No limit on physical CPUs & Cores

- 8 vCPU limit for VMs
