Open ESXTOP and then expand the GID for a VM. When you do, you will see 4 “common” worlds for the
Machine plus 1 world for each CPU. So in this exhibit, FileServer01 has 12 worlds: 4 we know are common,
so the other 8 must be for vCPUs.
The 4 common worlds are: vmx, vmast, vmx-vthread, and vmx-mks while the CPUs are each listed as vmxvcpu-
0, -1, -2, etc. Also in the exhibit, all the other VM’s only have 1 vCPU.
