How do I correctly allocate my 2 CPU's to the 2 VM's running on my host?

Hi,

 

I have a multi node server comprising of 4 nodes.

 

Each node has 2 Intel Xeon E5620 (QC/8T) CPU's & 24GB RAM

 

The aim is to run 2 VM's per node (8 VM's total) and to allocate 1 physical QC/8T CPU to each VM with the maximum threads per CPU available.

 

I'm using ESXI 6.7U3 and would like to know how to correctly allocate the CPU's / vCPU's accordingly in the VM settings tab.

 

So far they're configured as image attached.

 

CPU affinity is left blank for the time being. (Should this be set to 0 - 7 VM1 & 8 - 15 VM2?)

 

Many thanks
