Hi,
FreeNAS newbie here.
I have ESXi Version 6.7-U2.
I've got a new VM with Freenas 11.2-U5 as the Guest OS.
With the system powered OFF, is it safe to increase the number of CPUs (to say 2) and then maybe at a later date decrease the number back to 1?
(Note: I'm *not* wanting to do hot-adding which isn't supported on FreeBSD 11 anyway).
I've been reading as much documentation on vCPUs and FreeNAS as I could find and I still can't find a conclusive answer to this.
I know that earlier versions of ESXi used to have a warning that changing the number of CPUs, after Guest OS install, can cause things to become unstable; that concerned me.
Would I be better off re-creating the VM from scratch and re-installing FreeNAS with the CPU count already set to 2 or would this just be wasted time? It would take a lot of effort to do this so I'd rather avoid it if possible.
Regards.
