What is the maximum number of vCPU can I connect to a virtual computer?

Currently, we are conducting a cluster of 3 ESX host.  2 of them run Xeon Dual Core Pro 7140 M and the rest works a Quad-Core Intel Xeon X 5460 CPU.

HT enabled processor Xeon Dual Core Pro 7140M.  In this way, each female, it shows that 4 logical CPU.

We would like to know if we can assign 4vCPU to a virtual machine (as required by a server administrator) WHERE we can assign only 2 vCPU maximally?

Thank you

I think you should spend some time reading about VMware resources management guide and have a good operation of a CPU scheduling understandings and best practices dealing with vSMP.  As everyone says, it would be unwise to have a virtual machine running 4vCPU or 8 vCPU and I did not see a need for anything that is 8 vCPU but does not mean that it cannot.  It would be nice if you can tell us your current use of the server/application and details of the charge and that would quickly determine 2vCPU is pretty good.  The vCPU more assigned to the virtual machine, takes more time to achieve your requests because it must have enough carrots to do and called "Co planning."  I have attached the guide so that you can read a few details.  http://www.VMware.com/PDF/vi3_35/esx_3/R35/vi3_35_25_resource_mgmt.PDF

It wouldn't surprise if you complain about performance issues when you have tons of 4vCPU or virtual 8vCPU running in the cluster.  Always start with 1vCPU and growth like him.

If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

Kind regards
