SSC600 SW requires 4 CPU cores. To ensure the real-time performance of the SSC600 SW, exclusive access needs to be reserved also for the CPU.
- Open virtual machine settings and expand the CPU settings.
- Configure the Reservation value so that it matches the number of CPU cores, and the base CPU frequency: number CPU cores × CPU frequency.
For example, if the base CPU frequency is 2400 MHz, the values must be 4 × 2400 MHz = 9600 MHz.
Figure 1. CPU settings The CPU base frequency can be checked from ESXi's Hostpage.
- Scheduling affinity should not be used for CPU core allocation in ESXi. Leave Scheduling affinity unconfigured.
The L3 CPU cache reservation settings should be already imported from the OVF file. However, if the hardware has more cache available, the cache size can be increased.
