I wouldn't recommend
this method for disabling CPU's at run-time since I've never tried it myself and I've had bad luck doing the same with using sysfs to remove HDD objects without a reboot (I got a Kernel Panic). There is also the "maxcpus" kernel parameter for limiting the number of CPU's available for use.
If you're going to do that last one, though, it would require a reboot obviously. But why not just shut the VM down after hours, reduce the number of CPU's on the VMWare side and then boot back again?

cpu [OPTIONS]
DESCRIPTION
CPU is a tool for user administration, that was initially based on FreeBSD's pw(8). This tool will allow you to administer users and groups
on several different backends currently including LDAP and flat files. Please see the website http://cpu.sourceforge.net for more informa-
tion, or help improve the man page.
OPTIONS
There are two kinds of options; options for CPU and options for CPU modules. There are only four options for CPU, they are as follows:
-C configfile, --config configfile
The configuration file to be used by CPU. The options in this file are used for CPU modules.
-h, --help
Display help for CPU. If specified in conjunction with the -m option the help for that particular module is displayed.
-M method, --method=method
This is the method of administration. Current options are ldap or passwd (passwd is not yet working). This can be specified in the
configuration file.
-V, --version
