How many physical cores are in the ESXi server?

It's a common mistake for people to assign 2 vSMP to a host.  Generally 
speaking with ESX, you will get lower performance when using multiple cpu's 
inside a VM.  Thats because there is a performance hit to virtualizing two 
cpu's.  The only time this works out is if the software running in the VM is 
heaviliy multi-threaded.

And if there's not at least 4 CPU's int he ESXi server than it's really a 
problem becuase the virtual machine with fight with the Service console for cpu 
time.

 Hello everyone,

 I have SipX 3.10.2 with CentOS 5 running on a VMWare ESXi server, I've 
assign 1GB of RAM and selected 2 CPU during the install, the system 
seems to run just fine but we started having intermittent issues with 
voicemail quality, at first it was only on the playback of the message 
but now it seems to be on the message itself, as we can hear it during 
the playback from forwarding it to email.

 I've dedicated resources to the SipX, (1GHz and 1GB RAM) now I'm going 
to monitor the server closely but if this continues to happen I'm gonna 
have to move it to a dedicated server. By the way, we only have 5 users 
on the system which it is live.

 Has anyone installed SipX on VMWare and if so, how does it run?? is 
there any tweak I can do to get it working better??

 Your help is greatly appreciated.

 Jhony
