Hi Rob, I'm inclined to agree with you re: virtual CPU count should not exceed physical CPUs - since the maximum number of ACTIVE virtual CPUs can never exceed the total number of physical CPUs. Thanks for the comments, I think I'll cut that number down accordingly. :)

If so, then you can give that single server two virtual CPUs, to match the number of real IFLs defined. PS Clearly this is not a common situation to have just one virtual machine. And you would need to review your configuration once you add more workload.
