Hello everyone!
In VMware official document "vsphere-51-configuration-maximums" or "vsphere-55-configuration-maximums.pdf" in section "ESXi host maximums \ Compute Maximums" exists to items:
"Host CPU maximums \ Logical CPU per host" ( vSphere 5.1: 160; vSphere 5.5: 320 )
and
"Virtual machine maximums \ Virtual CPUs per host" (vSphere 5.1: 2048; vSphere 5.5: 4096)
Question: what is the difference between these two items?
And one more complex thing from maximums:
Virtual machines per host: 512
Hosts per cluster: 32
Therefore, in the cluster can exist Virtual Machines (in maximum): 521 * 32 = 16384
But in document we have only 4000 VMs in maximum.
Why?
Thank you
