Summary
2048 VMs
Details
vSphere 6.0 Maximums
- 64 hosts per cluster (vSphere 5.x it was 32)
- 8000 VMs (previously 4000)
- 480 CPUs (vSphere 5.x it was 320 CPUs)
- 12 TB of RAM (vSphere 5.x it was 4 TB of RAM)
- 2048 VMs per host (vSphere 5.x it was 512 VMs).
vSphere 5.5 introduced a new maximum of 4096 virtual CPUs per host (i.e. when using vSMP), the previous limit of max 512 virtual machines / host remains. The maximum number of virtual CPUs per core has been increased to 32 (from 25 with ESX 5.1).
The most restrictive of these criteria applies - actually achievable maximum number depends obviously on workload characteristics and hardware configuration.
