Dear all
Hi
i am usng vcenter 6.5 and esxi 6.5 but now have a question about cpu configure in vm
i see teo option in edit setting vm for cpu :
1 - CPU : that maximum is count of logical Processors
my server is hp dl380 G8 with 2 physical cpu
1 - now i am confused which of them means Socket and Core per Socket ?
2 -
also for example select cpu = 4
core per socket can select just 1,2,4
what does means?
3 -
when select cpu=8
core per socket show : 1 ,2 ,4 , 8
what does means?
4 -
when select CPU=32
and select core per socket = 8
finally show Socket = 4
what does these means ???
BR
can anyone help me?

This may help in understanding the layout of the CPUs and cores: Virtual CPU Configuration
From a ESXi perspective it does not reserve the same setup on the physical hardware. A VM that has two CPU's with two cores each could be ran on one physical CPU that has at least 4 cores available. You cannot exceed the number of total resources (Total cores available on the physical host) for a virtual machine.
Let me know if this helps or if there is an area that needs more focus.
so thanks
i read that document but realy could not get my answers
