CirrusAdding New BigIP Units Using Free CPUs on i7800 (LB13 & LB14) to an existing HA Pair
Hello, We have a pair of i7800 devices, each running two guests with the following configuration: i7800 Unit 1: LB09 & LB11 i7800 Unit 2: LB10 & LB12 Current Setup: LB09 & LB10: These are par...
Hi mshoaib,
To my understanding i7800 supports only 12 vCPU not 14 vCPU, as per written in f5 Documentation.
Can you please check again and share the vCMP host , and number of vCPU supported, is it 12 or is it 14.

CirrusThank you Sebastiansierra for the detail response.
As you mentioned, vCMP has dedicated CPUs for running the system. Do you think the two CPUs shown after the initial 12 are the ones reserved for vCMP? Another user also mentioned that the i7800 model supports only 12 CPUs, rather than 14.
Hi mshoaib,
The VCMP Guest menu only shows you the available CPU to be deployed, so you can create a new VCMP guest without worrying because these devices are designed to run 1 vcmp guest with 1, 2, 4, or 6 CPU and a maximum of 12 VCMP guest, please review this article

In the case you open a support case, they probably redirect you to the same article.
