Is there any kind of configuration necessary when adding an additional CPU to a physical ESX host?
nope... shutdown ESX, add hardware, restart. You should be good to go. Just like replacing parts.
you will be negative 1 CPU license on your license server when you add it back to your VCMS

Hey,
From memory, and this was a long time ago...
I believe it was fine, the ESX host just needed a couple of reboots to update the HAL, which it does automatically.
I suggest backing up first though.

Yep - last time I added additional CPU's to a host it rebooted once.... registered it and whatever else it does in the background and was then good to go.
I can add to the list of positive posts.
Added cpu's and rebooted, no issues at all
Thanks all for your replies! Thats just what I wanted to hear.
Not enough points to go around so I apologize.
