I need a VM with four processors in one socket. I accidentally created a VM with four sockets, one core per socket. When trying to change the configuration in VCenter Server (vSphere 6.0) the change appears to be successful, showing 4 cores per socket and 1 socket listed:
However the resulting machine only shows one CPU in the OS. I have not found any articles pertaining to exactly this issue so I'm assuming it's not supported? If not, would it be best to just create a new VM and move the hard disk .VMDK file to the new machine? I would really like to keep the current OS and data intact.
Is it Windows VM ? If yes, run below command
msinfo32
In Summary page what is the processor info ? This is the correct info you have configured.
Also you can see the information in Task Manager > Performance > CPU

Using your instructions I was able to verify that there are indeed four logical processors running, I was mistaken. Thanks for your help!
Yes, system will show you 1 CPU as you selected 1 socket. Cores are logical processors which you can see in system summary.
