Hello All,
I have been trying to enable multiple CPUs on my linux VM on the windows host machie. I went to System->Processor-> and tried to change the Processors. But it was disabled and the note said "You need hardware virtualisation enabled in the host system.". Then i tried to enter the BIOS on my HP machine and enabled the Virtual Technology (VTx) and Virtualisation Technology for directed I/O (VTd) . But it looks like this still doesnot have any affect on the VM for enabling the mutliple CPUs. Could you please help me with this ? Any help or pointers is very much appreciated

thankyou in advance for your support and help

If you have enabled hardware virtualization and the processor count is still grayed out you probably have the machine in saved state. It must be completely shut down for those settings to be changed.

Thanks for the reply. I didnot get you mean by "machine in saved state". I did reboot and tried to remove the battery before i restarted. Still box to enable multiple CPUs is grayed out..

The guest. Does it say running or saved in the main manager?

Just to update..I did a shutdown on the virtual machine and it did help ..

Thanks a lot Perry for the quick response and help
