Question

VM CPU's showing 1/2

Hi when we build new VM02 firewalls and allocate 2 cpu's in vcenter, after applying the license the dashboard shows:

 

Allocated vCPUs 1/2 50%

 

It seems to indicate it has 2 CPU but only one is in use, do we need to do anything further?

    Hello @flamer 

     

                    What does the License Status says, does it shows valid?. Could you please run the following command

     

    #get sys status

     

    Also, have you tried a reboot of the firewall?

    Hi Flamer

     

    If you have a valid license for 2 cpus, please just try the following

     

    AZ-FG-FGT-A # exe cpu show
    Active CPU number: 2   --> in your case you will see 1 here
    Total CPU number: 2     --> This value will change depending on the instance or VM type.

     

    After you run 

     

    AZ-FG-FGT-A # exe cpu add
    number New Active CPU Number.

     

    exe cpu add1 in your case

     

    After this you will see all the CPUs in use on the GUI, also it is recommendable to reboot the firewall so the session will use all the  CPUs.

     

    Hope this helps :)
