SQL Server 2016, automatic soft NUMA avoids assignment of logical processors from the same package to the same soft NUMA node. VMWare provides options to ‘Assign a Virtual Machine to a Specific Processor’ that may be helpful in tuning your installation. Using the returned information SQL Server assigns nodes and schedulers accordingly.
