VMWare VDP: error
Hi,
I'm trying to setup VDP in a lab.
Everything works fine BUT the fact that I only have 2 CPU's in my ESXI.
I get the error VDP: Failed, the specified number of CPUs 4 is invalid.
Note: it asks to assign 3 disks (?) during install, not sure what that is, I point it to a datastore of 1TB.
Please advise.

It is not possible to select less dan 4 cpu, that is actually my issue.
I've just edited our server, and reduce to 1 vCPU.
Make sure there are no Reservations for 4, or MHz/CPU GHz!

There are no reservations. However, it seems you cannot setup without having 4 CPU's, you can reduce the cpu's, but you cannot do initial setup without 4 CPU's.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
It needs to assign disks to the appliance, these disks are used for the repository.
If you are using on your MicroServer, I do not think you will have the performance to run it.
VDP appliance is very resource intensive, needing at least 4 vCPU and 10-16GB of RAM.
You can test this, see how long it takes to startup, it should take 10 minutes, how long does it take to startup on a Microserver?
