vSMP VMs and Per CPU Licensed Applications

less than 1 minute read

I have the handy vCalendar by Jason Boche sitting on my desk here at work and as I was tearing through the days of this weekend I came across one tidbit that is extremely handy to know.

August 28th talks about vSMP VMs and Applications which license per CPU. Jason has a great tip that allows the application to see logical CPUs instead of Physical CPUs:

Power off the VM & Edit the VM Settings
Options tab
General (in the Advanced options section)
Configuration Parameters
Add Row
Enter “cpuid.coresPerSocket” in the Name column
Enter a value of 2 or 4 in the Value column

Figured that this would be nice to share with everyone!
