I think this issue may have been raised in the past, but was not addressed..
When creating a service offering in CS using multiple "cores" CS, actually
creates the VM in the background with multiple sockets. Example a 6 "core"
offering actually translates into a 6 socket offering. This is a problem on
certain OS's and applications like SQL 2012. SQL 2012 has a 4 socket maximum.
The easiest fix, might be just to allow the admin to specify how to arrive at
the core count when creating the service offering.

I can't speak for other hypervisors, but this definitely effects vmware. The
only workaround without a fix is to change the vm via virtual center...
Thoughts?
