Hi there,
Looking for answer to this query but couldn't find answers for 30 min googling.
What is the max vCPU that I can assign to a VM on esxi 5 free version?
Thanks
8 vCPUs can be assigned to a VM using the free version.
I fired one up and added a free licence to it just to verify...

My 2 Cents
I'm also struggling to find any docs on this. (I'll ask around)
I know Hypervisor 4.1 was 4 vCPUs, so ESXi 5 Hypervisor will be at least 4 and maybe 8
Keep in mind you have the 32GB Physical Memory limitation
Please award points if you find this helpful/correct ![]()
Message was edited by: PduPreez Yes it is 8 vCPU. Confirmed with peers ALso see PIC
AFAIK,in the ESXi 5 Free version ,you can have 1CPU with max vcpu = 8 with the VM.
Any documentation would be great cause I have to show it to official guys as a POC.
How about by socket? Does it support two cpu sockets or just one?
Thanks all! really appreciated
This document has the infromation you seek - http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/vsphere_pricing.pdf - you can have multiple physical CPUs -
Thank you all guys,
Greatly appreciated with your all answers.
Hi, sorry for re-open
my question is:
- i have a server with six core processor with hyperthreading enabled. so, total is: 12 cores.
- using cpu affinity, can i add proccessor to my vm from 6 to 12 core?. then will be 6 vcpu's assigned.
- that's my question, if ESXi restrict total core's of physical server.
Thank you very much.
PD: sorry for my bad english.
