Assign a Virtual Machine to a Specific Processor in the VMware Host Client
By using CPU anity, you can assign a virtual machine to a specic processor. This way, you can assign a
virtual machine only to a particular available processor in multiprocessor systems.
Prerequisites
Power o the virtual machine.
Procedure
1 Right-click the virtual machine in the VMware Host Client inventory and select Edit .
2 Under Virtual Hardware, expand CPU.
3 Under Scheduling , select physical processor anity for the virtual machine.
Use a hyphen to indicate ranges and a comma to separate values.
For example, 0, 2, 4-7 would indicate processors 0, 2, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
4 Click Save to apply your changes.
