Total processors in a Cluster

Hi,

How vCenter countes the total processors in the cluster ? The cluster in the image has 3 nodes each with 56 logical processors

Thank you

Seems you have 28 Cores per host and enables hyper-threading which results 56 logical vCPUs. On Cluster level you will see total cores per socket per host which is 28*3 = 84.

Can you check the following config on each host? Are those hosts are identical with hardware/cpu config !

Sounds like one of the hosts has hyperthreading enabled in the bios and the other two do not.

Thanks for the help. Is the total processors sum for Logical Processors or Cores ?

2 hosts are identical with 56 Logical processors , 2 sockets and 14 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5

1 host 56 Logical processors , 2 sockets and 14 cores Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold

The total processors at cluster level you see in SUM of cores (not logical processors) on all hosts.
