40 vcpu VM hardware requirements?

Hi all

Running a 15-node cluster with 2 core socket/6 blade servers.  I had a request for a 40 VM vCPU.  I'm having a brain Peter here.  The physical servers have more than 40 hearts to run this?  I always thought as the root of the list of resources to share the CPU in the cluster to give the VM vCPU 40 but my colleague thinks otherwise.

We run ESXi 5.1 Enterprise Plus.

A VM is only running on a single physical host at any given time. In other words, only a single virtual machine can use the resources provided by a single host. As a vCPU maps to a thread of a physical CPU, it makes no sense at all to provide a virtual machine with more than 24 vCPUs in your environment (2 x 6 cores + HT which should have enabled). I also think that you can even create a VM with vCPUs more than you have physical threads available in your single host.

Demand for vCPU 40 seems clearly oversized and not aware of the infrastructure. I hope that they have an extremely solid and objective explanation to do this, I guess they don't have any.

Hell, even a recent physical Intel 2 sockets, 8 cores + powerful server HT cannot provide much more CPU resources.

  • Windows Home Server - Hardware requirements

    Good afternoon

    I am interested in creating a solution of Windows Home Server. I bought a Windows Home Server 2007 OEM media with the intention of creating my own solution, but never got around him a few years ago. My question for the community is the following: what are the hardware requirements for this solution?

    For me, it's a question I think I should know, but for some reason any I am at a loss! I think I need at least 2 computers. The first is the server itself, the second is a stand-alone computer that connects to the network.

    If you can give me some of the basic information I should know before diving into the Home Server I would really appreciate it. If you have all cards/articles that can help you with representation on what I need to do this would be as phenomenal.

    Thank you in advance!

    I confess that I've never used WHS and have no idea about it but.

  • Hardware requirements for ESXi 4

    Hello

    What are the minimum hardware requirements for ESXi 4 requirements?

    I can test it on a P4 / 1 GB RAM workstation with 20 GB hard drive and add a NAS 1 TB as a data store?

    The basic material may or may not support ESXi. The components shipped as disk controllers and network adapters are often problems for installation. You can check your hardware against the HCL http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php or http://vm-help.com whitebox Web site list.

  • Minimum hardware requirements

    Hello!!!

    I'm new in the world of virtualization VMWare and I would like to know what are the requirements of minimum hardware requirements for the free ESXi hypervisor. I have a bunch of old computers and I would like to start playing with ESXi on them, but some of them are like Celeron366/128 MB Ram / 20GB HD, and I don't know how it will perform ESXi on those.

    I tried to look at the documentation, but found nothing on the minimum requirements (only the ceilings).

    Any tips?

    Thank you

    Welcome to the Forums - also before you start checking the hardware compatibility list (HCL from VMware) to ensure that your equipment is there that it will make your life easier - http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php. If this isn't there, you can see http://vm-help.com/ - it is a site with information on obtaining ESX to run on unsupported hardware

  • The minimum hardware required for Satellite L755 drivers

    The minimum required hardware drivers satellite L755 m1du stopped by installation
    Since the installation of all the drivers, my laptop is too heavy.
    And order of installation of the drivers do not know.

    I guess you have common, most essential drivers you need to install this Satellite L755 device...

    Well, I think you certainly need drivers
    LAN, WLan, chipset, graphics card, touchpad

    Other drivers and tools are needed to control the features and additional portable devices.
    If you want to use the phone with all the features available and supported, you need to install all the drivers and tools available on the Toshiba driver website.

    No, if you can run ESX or ESXi in your lab, you can run vCloud Director. There are some conditions for the vCloud Director installation, but which can be downloaded for free.

    Check out post from Duncan on installation vCloud on your laptop:

  • What is the minimum hardware required to light a LED?

    Hello

    I want to have a few physical outputs very basic of my labview program, which can be summed up as "what is the minimum hardware necessary to light a lamp?

    The COM port can be used as a base i/o port, pins can be toggled?

    Some people seem to use Arduino to connect, how are easy to implement?

    And my last option I know is a dedicated i/o card. I guess that they are plug-and-play, but overkill for my purposes.

    See you soon,.

    You can easily use a COM port. There is a property node for control of handshake lines. Not sure that the com port is not TTL levels, not you? The voltage levels can be as large as +/-15.
