Hi ,<br />
<br />
If I am having a quadcore machine i.e. 4 dual cores which is total of 8 processors - please let me know if my understanding is wrong.<br />
<br />
Have an esxi host with quad core processor hosting 5 virtual machines.How are these vm's configured with respect to the processor.<br />
I do &nbsp;see an option called Virtual processors in the summary of the VM, can this settings be edited after installing the OS and may be to increse the performance of the machine.<br />
<br />
Is the virtual processors related to the available processors on the host or can we assign as many processors we want same with memory as well.<br />
<br />
Please let me understand the assignment of the processors and the memory to virtual machine.<br />
<br />
<br />
--Thanks

Assigning the Processor and the Memory

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
