    The experts say always go multiple slot but with logical 2 cores for vCMP/Velos (I think 1 is not an option anyway so 2 cores on blade 1 and 2 on blade 2) as when a blade goes down you do not lose tenant config and you just remove the faulty blade and place the RMA one 🙂

    Also always keep the vcmp quest / velos tenant images on the chassis as to be able to rebuild the tenant/quest after you replaced the blade as to not hit the error below:
