We have a virtual server that is Centos 6 64-bit with one core. It has Zenoss on it. We are using VMware to host the virtuals. We would like to take it to two cores. I have done research and seen that it would cause the system to run slow. I was wondering since this is a version of Linux would this cause the system problems adding a additional core. Is there anything I have to do in the CentOS to get the new core installed or just shut it down and add it?

make sure the kernel supports SMP (if it's the stock centos kernel it will).  Shut it down and add the core, should run fine!

You're referring to "processor affinity" - here's a clear article on achieving that: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-processor-affinity-certain-task-or-process.html http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/setting-processor-affinity-certain-task-or-process.html
