NoFate Posted March 26, 2019 Author Share #3 Posted March 26, 2019 well, i played with it, different cpu's / cores, always stable :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dedelastuce Posted March 26, 2019 Share #4 Posted March 26, 2019 Ok thx Unfortunatelly mine isn't as stable as yours Sometimes I have my CPU at 98-99% without reason. I need to investigate more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted March 27, 2019 Share #5 Posted March 27, 2019 DSM is stable with one CPU. Throughput may suffer if you are using it for a production load. I routinely use 1 CPU for test systems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it too much, ESXi will manage CPU resources across all your VMs and CPU cores. 'over allocating' vCPUs to a little used VM is unlikely to impact your main systems as by definition, it's not doing much. I allocate 4 vCPU for my main server with Plex and 2 vCPUs for the other DSM instances (downloader, surveillance, test) - this is on a Dell T20 (3.4Ghz quad core Xeon) with 24GB RAM.
