Error when trying to build 64vcore

[randophbar]

I have a request to build a 64vcore 128mb 5TB Centor7.7 VM. I Thought all my VxRail Nodes share Resources? So does anyone know why this is failing with this error?

They don't share resources for a single VM. A single VM is still constrained by the resources of a single host, which is what that error message is telling you.

Thats not how ESXi is working. The local resources are not combined.  You have 2x14C CPUs and with activated HT this gives you 56 logical CPU. That means your largest VM can have up to 56 vCPUs.
