We have an SQL 2014 virtualised server running on a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster.
At present SQL has 1 virtual processor assigned to it. Each host in our two host cluster has 2 sockets with 8 cores, giving 16 virtual processors. In a nutshell how many virtual processors is it recommended to assign to SQL and from that point what are the recommendations for configuring NUMA?
We are a small research unit, not google, so our requirements are fairly modest.
I know this is a really generalistic question, but any "general" advice would be great.

Ian
