Hi,

You can have up to 8 vCPU perhost or up to 256 vCPU per cluster. Please refers to related Configuration Maximums document for more details.

Hi,

It could be both or combined among several VM configurations (e.g. 2x 1vCPU FT VMs, 1x 2vCPU FT VM & 1x 4 vCPU FT VM)  either it acts as Active FT VM or Passive FT VM.

In a cluster, you can also protect up to 98 VMs with FT.

before that you say can create 256 vm in a cluster but now you said can create 98 vm with FT protect now i am confused can run 98 vm with ft protect on a cluster or 256 vm on a cluster with ft protect ?

Hi,

Please read my previous post carefully. I said "... or up to 256 vCPU per cluster". Please verify it on related vSphere Configuration Maximums document as well.
