when a VM is running hardware version 10 you have to do every change via vCentre which is fine.
however unlike the desktop client you can say use 1 CPU Socket with 2 x CPU Cores.
it would seem that VMware are trying to force the default to be 2 sockets with 1 core on each.
so my question apart from OS Licencing etc, is there any benefit from doing 2 sockets with 1 core instead of 1 socket with 2 cores.
you have to go to advanced and add a value to manually do it, why did VMware limit the ability to set additional cores per cpu via vCentre
