This guide explains how to add a CPU core to an ExtraHop virtual appliance that is
running in a Hyper-V environment.
The ExtraHop Discover 1000v requires a minimum of two processing cores with
hyper-threading support. If you want to enable SSL decryption, we recommend that you
add a third processing core to avoid performance degradation.
Note: | You must have a valid ExtraHop license before you can enable SSL
decryption. |
