virtualization - ESXi 5.5 CPU Sanity Check



In the BIOS of my server I have 2 X 2.26 quad cores, however in VMware I only see 2 cores per CPU ? Surely this isn't right?




BIOS



VMware



Processor Cores and Processor sockets should show as below:



Processor Sockets: 2



Cores per Socket: 4




Logical Processors 16



Hyper.. : Active






Answer - Cores set to dual, not all.



DUAL-Set


Answer




Visit your BIOS config page and check processor settings. Do you see a value of "4" for "Number of Cores per Processor"?



Also, can you provide the build number of your ESXi installation? This could also be a bug (less likely).
