We recently deployed our first ESXi 6.5 Host. This host has dual 2.10GHz E5-2620 v4 CPUs installed. When I create a new VM with 6 vCPUs and choose to use 2 sockets with 3 cores per socket, the host automatically changes it back to 1 socket with 6 cores per socket. If I shut the VM down and try to change the vCPU count to 8 vCPUs using 2 sockets with 4 cores per socket, the host automatically changes to 1.3333333333333333 sockets with 6 cores per socket. Is this normal behavior?
