An administrator is creating a new virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine wizard in custom
mode on an ESXi 5.x host with two quad-core CPUs. What would limit the maximum number of
virtual sockets for the virtual machine to 8? (Choose three.)
A.
Windows 2008 32-bit is configured as the guest operating system.
B.
Virtual machine hardware version 8 is configured for the VM.
C.
Hyperthreading is disabled on the ESXi host.
D.
The ESXi host is configured with a Standard license.
E.
The number of cores per virtual socket is set to 4.

Disable hyperthreading on the ESXi host and configure the host with a standard license. Then set
the number of cores per virtual socket to 4 and you will limit the virtual sockets for a virtual
machine to 8.
