    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.

     

    Please refer:

Hi F5_Design_Engineer ... 

I appreciate your detailed responses and the screenshots you’ve provided.

I wanted to confirm that this device indeed supports only 12 CPUs. The earlier screenshot I shared, showing 6, 6, and 2 CPUs, was a bit misleading.

After deleting the "Guest VM" and downgrading one of the units from 6 to 4 CPUs, the UI correctly displayed the number of CPUs in use (10) and the remaining available (2). I’ve attached a new screenshot for clarity.



I’ve marked your responses as the "Solution." Thank you again for your help!

Best regards,
