Hi there,
I am currently deploying a new ESXi host.
Server Model: Dell PowerEdge R510
CPU: 2x Intel Quad E5607
My ESXi hosts states that it can see 8CPUs x 2.266 GHz as expected.
However, the question I have is in this case only 1 VM is going to be deployed onto this host at the moment and I would like as much resource to be given to this VM as possible. The VM is a Terminal Server for multiple users and is going to have to be quite the workhorse.
I have read numerous articles that state assigning a VM vCPU as 1 virtual socket and 1 core per socket, then letting ESX / vCentre look after the resource allocation is the best way to go.
If this is followed in my case will both processors be utilized?
I hope this makes sense.
Regards, Dean.
