If one was to run "A VM with Win2K8 Enterprise, 64bit - needs 8 vCPUS" - in a real world environement, but the only options in the VM edit settings page we ONE, TWO or FOUR vCPUs then would the reason for this potentially be?....
An ESX 3.x host has two AMD dual-core CPUs - OR - An ESXi host has two Intel dual-core CPUs.
Is there difference between the ways which AMD/ESX present vCPUs in comparison to Intel/ESXi??? As far as I was concerned, both options would only allow you configure a VM (irresepctive of OS) with a MAXIMUM of 4 cores (two from each Socket?)
Can anyone push me in the right direction as I am entirely confused about this...?
