Folks,
SQL Edition : SQL2016 STD
Windows Edition: Windows 2016 STD
Standalone VM
Current allocation : 12 vCPUs (4 cores * 3 sockets)
Planning for 20vcPUs the server team requesting to know how much can SQL support , my take was 4 cores *4 sockets =16vcPUs is the max as SQL Server 2016 Standard Edition will only use four sockets because of the socket license limit.
To make use of all the 20vcPUs is 4 cores*4 sockets the best that can be done or do we have any other way to achieve the best ,Yes they will be doing the changes on VM Configuration manager
Regards and Wishes
Eben
