    E. The number of cores per virtual socket is set to 4.
    Why?
    This host has 2 CPU quad-core(2*4=8), if hyperthreading is enabled 8 core*2=16. 16 is the maximum of cores for the vm. if you select 8 virtual sockets for the vm, only 2 core for virtual socket, not?

    Answers A and B are wrong for sure.
    Windows Server 2008 32-bit max CPU support is 4, but this will not limit the process. The virtual machine will see only 4 CPUs only.

    VM hardware version 8 max CPU support is 8 CPU.

    This host has 2 CPU quad-core(2*4=8), if Hyperthreading is enabled 8 core*2=16. 16 is the maximum of cores for the vm considering Hyperthreading enabled.

    C. Correct: If Hyperthreading is disabled, the host VMs will no longer able to avail 16 vCPU and limited to 8 vCPU.
    D. Correct: ESXi Standard License supports max 8 vCPU/vm.
    E. Correct: If the # of cores per virtual socket is set to 4, the max # of vCPU/vm for this host is 16/4=4.

    1. VCP says:

      However this host has maximum vCPU 16 even with Hyerthreading, 2sockets * 4 (quad-core) * 2 (hyperhreading) = 16 vCPU, is it the case?

      And the question is what limit the vSocket to 8?

  4. Newbie says:

    E is correct, assumed using ent or ent+ license max vCPU supported is 32 (guess the question is written for 5.0, 5.1 supports 64 vCPU). So 32/4(core per vsocket) = 8 vsocket
