You had: A 2-cpu machine with HT
You got: 4 VMs

You now have: A 2-cpu machine with HT
You get: 2x 2 slots = 4 slots

Is that what you said? If so, this is what I would expect it to 
give unless you turned off HT recognition within
COUNT_HYPERTHREAD_CPUS = FALSE

How many slots were you expecting?
How many do you want?

That depends what you mean by properly:
How many slots were you expecting?
How many do you want?
