Scenario: IT management has decided which server hardware model to use for new XenApp and XenDesktop Sites and needs guidance on sizing the Hardware
Layer.
Click the Exhibit to view the host details.
A Citrix Architect is planning to install XenServer 7.x on this host.
How many vCPUs will be available to the XenServer host?
The UCS B200 M4 server has 2 sockets, with each socket having 8 cores, making a total of 16 physical cores. With hyper-threading enabled, the number of threads or logical processors effectively doubles, resulting in 32 logical processors (16 physical cores x 2). Therefore, with hyper-threading enabled, the XenServer host will have 32 vCPUs available.
Hyperthreding is enabled. Hence 32 would be correct answer.
C. 32 is correct
hyper threading doesn't double to pCPU hence 16 will be correct
They're asking for vCPU, not pCPU, so 32 is the correct answer, taking into account Hyperthreading.
