Hi,

 

Continuing the thread, I have a doubt.

 

My configuration for a VCMP guest already installed (1 blade mounted) :

 

Core Per Slot = 1, Number of Slot = 2 Allowed Slot List = 1 2

 

We will install a new blade soon, but we don't want expand cores to the new blade. I guess that with the configuration of above, as soon as we insert newly blade, our VCMP guest will duplicate the cores number, am i right?

 

We want that the new blade works for newly VCMP guests only, could we change to this configuration to accomplish that? Is it needed change to disabled state the VCMP guest first?

 

Core Per Slot = 1, Number of Slot = 1 Allowed Slot List = 1

 

Best Regards. Luis.
