We have, atm, a costumer requesting visualization, (Disaster) still SMB/SBS, but heavy on SQL and apps on Terminal Server.
#Vmware for mac licensing license
Your answers still doesn't answer, which license a can make x-SMP guests. Maybe it's a (which word? sorry, I'm danish ) invalid/unnecessary/stupid/incompetent question, (take your pick:)) but: (SQL, Exchange, SBS, whatever)īut if I have a server, 2 CPU, 6 cores - 12 cores total, making only 1 guest, and is limited to assign 4 vCPU (cores) "wasting" 8 cores, I really want to know. Our reason to use visualization is a time issue on disaster recovery, and/or high availability.
do not use more vCPU's in total, that you have cores, if wanting to avoid "killing/overcharging" processors. I always had the understanding that vCPU is (more or less) equal to the number of phys. Then I don't understand, why it is necessary/possible to set number of vCPU?Īnd if assigning 2 vCPU is best performance, why the possibility to assign 4 or 8? That it will run better than 1 server with 1 CPU with 6 cores? (no ESXi, but "ordinary" install) The guest is utilizing all 12 cores? (if necessary) Perhaps, (very likely) I'm misunderstanding the whole issue?Ī host with 2 x 6core CPU with a single guest with 2 vCPU. It did earlier, as I read the earlier posts, that only Enterprise + was able to make 8-way guests.īut never found anything showing me that it s correct. If you find this or any other answer useful please consider awarding points by marking the answer correct or helpful If you are wanting to performance testing and such USE ESXTOP:
Also since you like to dig into the whole CPU thing I would recommend reading about vmwares CPU architecture of the scheduler to enlighten you.Īlso might read up on HAL's since you may be playing around.
Most forum users who have virtualized rather large tier 1 applications are amazed at how much CPU they never used. Keep in mind that studies also shows that most systems only utilize %10 of their CPU so really most of a servers CPU is "underutilized" which is why many are virtualizing to make use of "unused" CPU. To say that Vmware is not made for heavy loads is quite amusing the above link will note many docs referencing load bearing scenarios with SQL and Exchange. Exchange benefits from the extra core due to the "load test" then give it more - thats okay and its expected. best practice is to always start with 1vCpu - then you Performance Load test and change it. Hope someone understands, what my question is.Īs he stated in his previous statements. This tells me that these comparison tables, do NOT say anything about what x-way SMP or vCPU is allowed. (No processor limit or requirement per single server)
#Vmware for mac licensing free
I know for certain that the free version does NOT give you 6-12-24-way SMP. How many vCPU's can I assign to a guest in the different license-cases.ĭoes Essentials then give you 12-way SMP? (2 proc with 6 cores) Please don't answer if it is wise or not, I know that. I can now make 3 guests with 4 vCPU's each.īut can I make 2 guests with 6 vCPU's each? Now I can utilize 2 CPU's with 6 cores, 12 cores in total. NOT how many vCPU's I can assign to a guest.ġ Standard license, gives me the ability to utilize 1 CPU with 6 cores.īut I can't find anything that tells me if I can make 1 guest with 6 vCPU? I've read a bunch of posts and comparison tables, but not getting much closer.Įverywhere there are links to all sorts of comparisons.Īs they only tell my how many phys. For more information, contact us at can purchase directly from our secure online store using the links below.I see many have problems understanding licensing and vCPU.
