fault tolerance with 8 vCPU

Is there way to set fault tolerance in ESXi 6.x Environment for a VM which has 8 vCPU? VMware cannot permit it? Other requirements?

Hello,

max supported vCPU for Fault Tolerance (FT) is 4 in vSphere 6.x

if you want to cover VM with Fault Tolerance decrease vCPU to 4.
