Sangfor HCI, like many other hypervisor-based systems, typically benefits from configurations that align with certain CPU core counts due to the way resources are managed and allocated.

Configuring CPU cores in multiples of 2 (such as 2, 4, 8, 16, etc.) is a common recommendation because most hypervisors allocate resources in pairs, allowing for more efficient resource management and optimization. This alignment often leads to better performance and resource utilization.

However, it's not a strict requirement to configure CPU cores exclusively in multiples of 2. Modern hypervisors and systems can handle odd core counts (like 6 or 12 cores) without significant issues.

When you configure your hypervisor server, consider factors such as workload requirements, the number of virtual machines (VMs) you intend to run, and the specific recommendations provided by Sangfor for their HCI solution.

While multiples of 2 might be the general guideline, using 6 or 12 cores should generally work fine, especially if it aligns better with your hardware capabilities or specific workload needs. Just ensure that the chosen configuration meets Sangfor's minimum system requirements and guidelines for optimal performance. Always refer to their official documentation or support resources for the most accurate and detailed recommendations for your specific use case.
