Hi
We have a IBM X3650 M2 server with two Xeon E5504 Quadcore processor. We are going for the virtualization with Microsoft Hyper V Server 2008 R2. We want to define 3 VMs in the host and vendor specified CPU core requirement are 4, 4, and 2 for each VM (total 10 cores). According to our vendor, we can specify maximum available CPU cores to each VM. i.e, in a Quadcore processor, we can specify 4 cores of CPU for each VM in Hyper-V. But our Network Support team says this is not possible and we can only define maximum of 8 cores (4 cores in each processor), hence we can have only 2 VMs (4+4) in the Host.
Who is right in this issue? Please shed some light.
