virtualization (VCPU count according to CPU)
We have purchased four intels xeon processors
IntelŽ XeonŽ Processor E7530 (12M Cache, 1.86 GHz, 5.86 GT/s IntelŽ QPI) with SPEC Code(s) SLBRJ
As per the specification each cpu has 6 cores therefore we have 24 cores (considering 4 cpus).
Now how would i calculate the number of vcpus that can be used while visualization?
This will help use to capacity planning.

In addition to Intel's own ``PRO/1000'' line of Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, these chips also appear on some server systems, processor evalu-
ation boards, and in embedded systems.
The i8254x supports IPv4/TCP/UDP checksumming and TCP segmentation in hardware. The wm driver supports these features of the chip. See
ifconfig(8) for information on how to enable this feature.
