I have been asked to increase a the number of CPU's on a sever from 4 CPU's to 8 CPU's.
I have been told by a consultant that "You should look at the NUMA boundaries of the host to make sure we don't increase the number of vCPUs to a point where it causes processing to cross this boundary. You could check if you are familiar with PuTTY. "
We currently have 4 VM's and 1 template on this host.
16 cpu's are allocated out of 32 on the host.
36 GB of RAM are allocated out of 128 GB.
We are probably not in danger of reaching the limit where it causes processing to cross this boundary.
VM1 = 4 Virtual Sockets & 1 Core per socket.
VM2 = 1 Virtual Socket & 4 Cores per socket.
VM3 = 1 Virtual Socket & 4 Cores per socket.
VM4 = 1 Virtual Socket & 4 Cores per socket.
Template1 (powered off) unknown.
But how can I be sure?
