Strangely enough, I can’t reproduce that issue in 4.0.5.
Anantha, when you say “will not allow us to change anything” what exactly do you mean?
Does it generate the same “unhandled exception” error as when adding disks or something
else?
I was able to specify 4 vCPUs consisting of 2 sockets (each with dual core) and it worked
fine.

Hello Daniel,
Thanks for inputs.
Also, one more problem we observed in 4.0.5. When creating VM, we cannot
change the CPU, sockets, cores. It will not allow us to change anything.
We have to save the VM during creation with 1 vCPU. Again, edit VM and
change the vCPU parameters. Have you or anyone observed this behaviour?
The cause of that is actually same, this is fixed in 4.0.6
