Or is it simply a 1:1 core assigned, vCPU to pCPU?<br><br>The total Hz available is 8x2.7G=21.6GHz which means I could install 21.6/3.6=6 of these OVAs?<br><br>Or do you do CPU math, 8/2 = 4 OVAs allowed to be installed?<br><br>The math and disk space calculations seem much easier.<br><span id="7cfbb40c-a4b1-4204-bd00-d872375142d4"><span name="x"></span><br><br><br>---<br>Lelio Fulgenzi, B.A.<br>Senior Analyst (CCS) * University of Guelph * Guelph, Ontario N1G 2W1<br>(519) 824-4120 x56354 (519) 767-1060 FAX (ANNU)<br>^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^<br>Cooking with unix is easy.
