CPU count increase does not reflect in Virtual Machine

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • I have a Windows 2008 r2 standard virtual machine that was originally assigned 4 CPU and 8 G memory. We increased this to 8 CPU and 16 G of memory. The "Number of CPU Cores" assigned to the system shows 8 but the "Guest CPU count" shows 4

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.x
  • Windows 2008 R2 Standard VM
