1 vCPU x 2 vCPU

[tropix]

Hi all.

I have an IBM 2-socket Quad-Core (2.66GHz). I was thinking about have one or two vCPU on a virtual machine. So, is the same thing have 1vCPU (2.66Ghz) than 2vCPU (limited in 1.33Gh)?

When I limit 2vCPU in 1.33Ghz I will have 1.33Ghz per vCPU or 665Mhz per vCPU?

Cheers,

Eduardo.

first let me say my recommendation is start with a single vCPU - it is easier for the vmkernel to schedule a single vcpu vs a dual vcpu - now to your questions -

1) no a single vcpu is not the same thing as a dual vcpu (see above)

2) limiting the VM dual vcpu to 1.33 does mean eaach vcpu will have a limit of 665
