    <description>&lt;P&gt;You are running 8 VM on 54vCPU? Have you tried to adjust the number of vCPU on the sql server? Have you also checked the performance on the storage?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Before throwing cpu at issues, I like to investigate any problems first.&lt;BR /&gt;This is why I was hoping anyone could see issues with the extop stats I posted.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;The SSD storage seems quite fast and no delays are seen in Windows PerfMon's&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;CPU Ready (%RDY) has big value which impact on vms. You can try to decrease number of vcpus on vms.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;BR /&gt;Is there a well made simply explained of all the data it is providing?&lt;BR /&gt;Like the %RDY: what does it means and what are the best values for it?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;CPU Ready Time – The time your VM is waiting in line to use the CPU on the host. CPU Ready can also be called the CPU Scheduler time, high time is bad – low time is good.&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="lukaszzasko_0-1698867243734.png" style="width: 400px;"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/104246i9E5A5B0CFAFEA85A/image-size/medium/is-moderation-mode/true?v=v2&amp;amp;px=400" role="button" title="lukaszzasko_0-1698867243734.png" alt="lukaszzasko_0-1698867243734.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi Lukaszzasko&lt;BR /&gt;Wmware said that %RDY and %CSTP where too high and asked to lower the vcpu counts&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I have a server with 6 VMs where 3 of them are at 2vcores for 1 vsockets.&lt;BR /&gt;&lt;BR /&gt;How to know how many vsockets and vcores to give them?&lt;BR /&gt;Right now:&lt;BR /&gt;TS03 has 12 vcores on 1 vsockets&lt;BR /&gt;TS02 has 20 vcores on 1 vsockets&lt;BR /&gt;Uni has 10 vcores on 1 vsockets.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;This physical server has 2 cpu and a total of 56 cores.&lt;BR /&gt;There is 2 pnuma as per extop.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Also, some documentation says to always give 1 cores and just rise the number of vsockets to the desire numberr of cpu so that vnuma is activated and configures itself.&lt;BR /&gt;But other documentation says to always use just 1 vsockets and put as many vcores to it as required, and that way you avoid the numa barrier.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Other docs says to match the physical numa configs ... but do not explain what that means!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I'm tempted to lower those 3 vm to 8 vcores on 1 sockets eath and see the extop stats but "guessing" in a prod environment is not ideal especially if I turn off CPU Hot Plug so that vnuma doesn't get disabled... which means I have to wait a whole day and reboot the server the following night to re-ajust the level of vcpus&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;P&gt;I agree with you to lower the number of vCPU for the test, but i would adjust to use two sockets since the physical server has 2 CPU's.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
