My understanding is that ES is limited to 2 sockets which was the case 
of my Dell PowerEdge M600 (2x4 CPU).

RHEL being a VM now, maybe it sees 8 sockets instead of 2, hence the 
message?

Does it means that one day or the other there will be an issue with 
updates or the number of CPU?

Is there a simple way to upgrade from "ES" to "AS"?

I suppose you run the "AS" version?
