Hi Guys We are installing a HP DL380 with an 8 core Xeon CPU. We plan to install VMware and run two VM’s both running Windows server 2012R2 with one acting as the DC/File/Print sever and the other as a dedicated application server. When creating the VM's I'm not certain on how many VCPU's we should be looking to allocate each VM, I have read lots of articles online mentioning that you should not over provision the server as it can have a negative effect or performance. This is the first server we are deploying using VMware so want to ensure we get it right.

Dear all, Machine - HP DL360 Gen9 with enterprise SD card, ESXi6 installed here. Image - HP VMware ESXI6 base image Update - ESXi600-201505001.zip We have just applied the latest ESXi6 patch to fix the critical issue with the command esxcli software vib update -d /vmfs/volumes/datastore/vibs/.ESXi600-201505001.zip The update showed as successful on the command line and just required a reboot. Following the reboot the 2 VMs are visible but appear as /vmfs/volumes/<longname>.vmx If we click on these VMs, an error is generated in the vsphere client "An internal error occurred in the vsphere client, objdct reference not set to an instance of an object". Clicking on "add datastore" showed no disk resources available. The version of the hosts in the vsphere client is 2715440. Running the command esxcli software vib list  shows HP drivers present. Any help is appreciated as the system is currently unusable and this has just been built so we don't want to start again, but since no datastores are visible, I am not sure how we would do this. Thanks Dan
