A follow on from a previous question about Altiris 7.1 Specs.
I've just gone to set up on vmware.
Whilst the options for number of CPU's is 1 - 8, if I set 8 I get a message "Virtual Machine has 8 virtual CPUs, but the Host only supports 4" which I believe is down to the licensing - we have vSphere 4.x Enterprise, we need vSphere 4.x Enterprise Plus.
so setting up a server as per recomendations
8 core / 16Gb Ram – (For a site server i.e Notification Server / Package server)
My question is whether a 4 core server is workable for 1000 clients in vmware - has anyone else done this and found it workable? As VMware handles resources differently from physical servers.
Thanks in advance, Sukh
