The Vsphere site says the following in regards to the free hypervisor, but every site online says 2 sockets only. If I buy a quad xeon box (R820) can I use all 4 CPU for a total of 32 cores? Or will i only have access to 2 CPU and 16 physical cores? This is for a home lab, but I need to run some heavy VMs and I want room to expand.
Specfications
- Number of cores per physical CPU: No limit
- Number of physical CPUs per host: No limit
- Number of logical CPUs per host: 480
- Maximum vCPUs per virtual machine: 8
