# minimumSupportedCPUCount

The minimum supported number of CPUs for this configuration.

```
var minimumSupportedCPUCount: Int { get }
```

## Discussion

This property specifies the minimum number of CPUs required by the associated macOS configuration.

You associate a [`VZMacOSConfigurationRequirements`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZMacOSConfigurationRequirements) with a specific [`VZMacOSRestoreImage`](/documentation/Virtualization/VZMacOSRestoreImage) object, which results in a specific macOS configuration.

Installing or running the associated configuration of macOS on a virtual machine with fewer than the specified number of CPUs results in undefined behavior.
