Hello,
I have a windows Server 2003 R2 SP2 virtual machine with 1 cpu and 4 GB of memory.
Can I increase cpu from 1 to 4
In the past I have increased cpu from 2 to 4 on similar machines without any issue, but not sure about going from 1 cpu to 4
Steps takes in the past:
power down vm
Take snpshot
increase number of cpu from 2 to 4
increase memory from 2 to 4 GB
start vm
check device manager to make sure additional cpus are visible
Check additional memory is visible
Delete snapshot
Revert snapshot if process fails
Also what about vmware warning "changing number of cpu after guest os has been isntalled may make your virtual machine unstable"
Thanks
