Hi,

What is the maximum amount of CPU cores supported by open server management.

Thank you in advance.

Management servers are not specifically core limited.
That only applies to Security Gateways.

Since monster VMs don't necessarily makes sense the main limit is choosing something from the HCL.

As Dameon said there are no core limits enforced on management.  The automatic resource and Java heap size scaling tops out at 12+ cores for a SMS, so while having more than 12 cores certainly won't hurt it probably won't provide any appreciable performance gain. 

Based on some testing I performed in the past, there was a noticeable increase in SMS performance as each core was added up to 8, then only minor improvement for cores 9-12, and no perceptible improvement beyond 12.  For MDS/Provider-1 however more cores beyond 12 can certainly help for configurations with a large number of Domains/CMAs.
