Hey community,
I have the ovf of Nagios XI deployed (centos 6.x).
In vCenter I can't seem to increase CPU count above 8.
Is it possible to go beyond 8?
Thanks,
Kevin

the requirements of the guest operating system EULA
Does the CentOS 6.x image that is used by Nagios XI only allow 8?

These are distributed as a "virtual machine version 7" which does have that limit.
However, if you shut down the virtual machine you can upgrade the hardware version to something newer (e.g. 11 on vCenter 6) which will raise the limit.
To do so,
shutdown VM from command line
right click on STOPPED VM in vCenter and choose "Upgrade Virtual Hardware"
Choose Yes
