More CPU need

[ma2002]

Hi all:

I use NAS to exec virtualbox, run more 3 VM

so I used more then 8 CPU and more RAM

Can we support more 8 CPU?

change boot config CONFIG_NR_CPUS=64 to do it

I believe that's Virtual Box limitation, not quite a XPEnology limitation.

the Free version of VMware ESXi also has the limitation of 8 CPUs (cores) if I recall properly.

 

Now, why do you want to use more that 8 CPUs?

 

just so you know, most Applications does not benefit from more than 2 to 4 Virtual CPUs, you don't really gain that much performance or computing power, it actually has the opposite effect.

 

Having more Physical CPU / Cores only makes sense to split them into smaller amounts to concurrently running Virtual Machines, but if you assign all CPU / cores to the same VM then you might as well dedicate the entire server just to that machine you are trying to run, instead of having it virtualized.
