per Core VM

I'm seeing the below msg on one of my ESXi 4.1 host.  It has 2 CPU's and 6 cores per socket.

There are 4.25 virtual CPUs active per core on this host. The threshold value is 4

What do I need to change to get rid of that msg? if so, what would be the impact?

thanks.

ah... now I understand.  Those are just general best practice guidelines.  Also, you can adjust those values under Health--Properties.

No worries....

i've never seen that message on vCenter or ESX(i), where is it?  It shoudn't impact anything, it's more of a best practice warning.  Can you provide a screen shot, i'm curious as to the message.

I have seen these types of messages using RVTools, but....

Like Troy I have never seen this message either - there is nothing natively in ESXi or ESX that will cap the number of vCPU per core -
