<p class="MsoNormal">Yes. You would need to shutdown the VM first, and then just add the new vCPU count under Edit Settings of the VM. It's the disks which you cannot simply increase from within VMWare.<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“The 2500 user VM configuration with one vcpu may exhibit performance issues during CPU/IO-intensive operations (such as installs, upgrades, backups and CDR writes), or if your deployment has certain characteristics such as a large quantity
of TFTP files. Changing the VM config to 2 vcpu is recommended as a prevention strategy.”<u></u><u></u></p>
