NUMA nodes in ESXi

[virtualjupiter]

Hello Folks,

I am trying to setup ESXi 4.1 Host with 20 VMs. I would like to know the benefits of having NUMA Enabled on my Host. I think the disabling Node Interleaving in BIOS would Enable NUMA. correct?

Is there a way to check that in ESXi? How do I know how many NUMA nodes are available? Is that per CPU core basis?

Thanks very much in advanvce.
