Which begs the question: haw many CPUs does OI support?
I don't think you'll be able to buy a machine with more CPUs than we
support in illumos. I've personally used older HP machines with 4 CPU
sockets and thus a lot of cores, and modern AMD systems which have a
still surprising number of cores in one or two packages.
In the unlikely event that you hit a problem based on core count, I am
sure it will just be a bug that can be fixed.
OK so 4 sockets @16 cores/ea, or 2 sockets @64 cores/ea won't be a
problem then.
Thanks for the reply! :-)
Time to go shopping.
