Hi,
I'd like some opinions regarding the configuration of my guest cpu.
I had a physical server with a MSSQL on it. The license of the SQL server was of
type 1 processor. This means, only one processor will be used by the SQL server.
Recently I had virtualised this server on a 2 processor host. Correct me if
I'm wrong, but now I can fool the SQL server by configuring one processors
with a lot of cores and threats which results in using more than one physical
processor.
With a trick like this, I'm not running the server according to the license.
To be on the safe side license-wise, I would like to configure my guest that it
has only one physical processor at disposal and that this processor is reserved
especially for this host. So, the other guests can't use that processor.
There is the option cpu passtrough, but I think this will give me trouble when I
migrate the guest to another host...
There are a lot of possibilities configuring the cpu. What would be the best
aproche?
Thanks in advance.
Dominique.
