Help needed on IVM configuration

I have a BL860c i2 host ( 8 Cores and 80 GB memory) on which I have to create 4 VM's with following configuration given by client


System        Processor    Memory

Base OS             12
Vm1        2 Cores     18
Vm2        2 Cores     18
Vm3        2 Cores     16
Vm4        2 Cores     16

My doubt is that if I assign 2 cores i.e.  2 vcpu to each VM with 100% entitlement that what will remain for the host.

So please clear this part. Is this a correct configuration

Re: Help needed on IVM configuration

First note that the 80GB allows only for 66 GB worth of guest RAM configured as per manual guidance.

 

you can fit 4x 100% x 2vcpu to 8cpu system. host will always have its share. I'd recommend for setting min

to 90% though. Each guest will still have its own cpu but you may avoid some bugs related to 100% min.
