That worked (thanks), but trying now to wrap my head around a disconnect I am having. I was thinking that the below for example would result in a VM with 3 as the "Number of virtual sockets" or "numvcpus" in .vmx and a value of 3 also for the "Number of cores per socket" or "cpuid.coresPerSocket" in .vmx
"NumCoresPerSocket" = 3;"NumCPUs" = 3
Any light you can shed on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks
