vSphere client can only make 32 core VMs on a 64 core host? Help!
Anyone have ideas on whats causing this? We're still running the free version of vSphere (but our trial period hasn't run up), our machine definitely has 64 cores, when we boot VMware it can see the 4 sockets (each has 16 cores).
Afaik you can only set this up using the vSphere Web Client. Although the Windows based vSphere Client is still available, new features are only added to the Web Client.
Yes, at least for some of the new settings. However, you can also try to edit the VM's configuration (.vmx) file manually. After editing it, you either need to remove/add the VM from/to the inventory or reload it form the command line (see VMware KB: Reloading a vmx file without removing the virtual machine from inventory) in order for the changes to take effect.
