I keep going around in circles with this. Can someone help me grasp this?
Scenario:
I need to license 4 Windows Server VMs.
My ESXiHosts have 2 processors with 6 cores each.
We want to be licensed for failover to a second host.
Hypothesis:
I think I need to purchase 64 cores. My logic is that (with the 16 core minimum per host/server) 16 cores would be required for every 2 VMs. This results in 32 cores for one host. The second 32 cores would license the other host for failover.
I'm looking forward to the help, everyone.
