I have also asked Red Hat support about this: My question: ">>So basically if we have 4 physical CPU-sockets in our ESX servers we need to use only RHEL Advanced Platform to make sure the hardware configuration is supported. Is this correct?" The reply from RH Support: "Yes this is correct. " So as far as I have understood it is the number of sockets in the physical VMware host that determines what version of RHEL you need to run on the virtual guests to have a supported configuration: For 2 CPU-sockets in the physical host you can use RHEL Server and for a 2+ CPU socket physical host you need to use RHEL Advanced Platform. The number of virtual cpus assigned to a RHEL guest is therefore irrelevant as far as I know.
