This is known to occur on IBM ESX host servers with 6 core CPU’s. The configuration tab for the host will show the correct number of cores, but will incorrectly double the number of processor sockets. For example, a host with 4 CPU’s having 6 cores per CPU (24 cores in total) will be displayed as 8 CPU’s having 3 cores each. This behavior can cause problems with software licensing as this is often done per physical CPU socket.
