FT CPU Limitation

Hi There,

I'm new to VMware so here's a silly question. As I understand it there is a limitation of 1 on the number of vCPUs a VM can have when using FT.

Firstly, is this limitation only for FT or is it for HA as well. Secondly, I have 2 x 8 core CPUs on my blade hosts giving me in effect 16 vCPUs as standard. We will not be running anywhere near 16 VMs on these hosts so we are wasting available processing power. Is there any way you can "trick" FT into thinking 2 of the cores on the host are being presented to the VM as a single VCPU?

Cheers
