12. Power on the Virtual machine.

13. Log in to the VM console.

Connect to the servers IP (for example, 10.185.5.112) and use Telnet port 20XX (for example, 
setup 29 will be 2029).

Core Pinning

In order to optimize performance, it is suggested to set core pinning in VMware.

To set core pinning

1. In the virtual machine, go to the 

Resource

 tab.

2. Select 

Advanced CPU

.

3. In the 

Hyperthread Core Sharing

 area, set the 

Mode

 parameter to 

Internal

.

4. In the 

Scheduling Affinity 

area, enter the physical processor affinity (CPU Pinning) range. (For 

example, 10-19, as shown in the screen below.)
