... can go away... If you have a physical machine with 32 cores and your VM run 8 shared with 4 other VMs running 8 cores, then you may really get 8 cores. If you run 32 VMs all wanting 8 virtual, then of course you are not getting it. I think the point was that virtual cores do not always mean physical cores. It will depend on the number of physical resources allocated to the VM. Neil Privacy Disclaimer: This message contains confidential information and is intended only for the named addressee.
