• VMotion between 2 Hosts with different processors

  Hallo,

  I have a server in my homelab I use for studies of VMsphere and I want to get a second machine to test advanced features such as HA, Vmotion etc.

  My first server has a map of X9SCM-9 with processor Xeon E3-1230V2 (Ivy Bridge). I am currently running ESX 5.0 U2 on it.

  I was counting on obtaining of material quality for the second host consumers because I don't want to spend a lot on it, so I thought that I need any CPU generation Ivy Bridge.

  I tested today with a second machine with a Pentium G2020 Ivy Bridge, but when I try to Vmotion he says "the virtual machine requires physical features that are not available or disabled on the host... ».

  So I figure there must be a difference in architecture regardless of the CPU beeing an Ivy Bridge CPU.

  When I try to activate CVS it just me are going to the 'Nehalem' Version so my virtual machines running on host 1 would not be able to use all the features of the CPU since the Xeon.

  So the question boils down to: what is the processor less which offer compatibility VCA L5?

  Or is there something else to consider in VMotion between two hosts with different processors?

  I got a shared storage, etc. of the same network configuration.

  Thank you

  Benjamin

  Hi Benjamin,

  For compatibility VCA L5 want to look at one of the following models, Intel CPU:

  • Ivy Bridge: Series E3-1200-v2
  • HASWELL

  I would recommend mental health that before rushing and a CPU purchase, check if a cheaper option would be, as Jon mentions in suppresss some fo the CPU compatibility checks so obviously, this is not desirable in a production environment, and must be applied in your study of VMware Lab to the home address.

  Hope this helps,

• vMotion between two hosts with different version?

  
  Hello

  Can I vMotion VM between two hosts with different version? For example, a virtual machine of esxi 6.0 5.5 esxi and esxi esxi 6.0 5.5 vMotion.

  Thank you.

  Yes, it will avoid you to move.

• vMotion between different processors

  On my last job, I had two clusters vmware, using four hosts with HP DL580 servers and the other with two hosts in a HP BLADE system, I don't remember the model.

  So when I tried to move an active VM for clusters to each other, I got an error, so I'm looking here on community and I got the awnser is the reason the hosts had different processors and I can only move this virtual machine, if they are closed. If I can only move cold VM between my cluster.

  OK im on a new company name and they had M$ Hyper-V and now we are migrating to VMWARE (cool ) we have two DELL Poweredge servers, one with two Quad-Core Xeon X 5470 and the other with two Xeon Quad - Core E5320.

  So I guess I'm having a problem of fact a vmotion hot between it because the servers have different processors.

  So im buying new processors, but I find only Xeon Quad-Core X 5365, I think that it corresponds to that of the X 5470 but with cache and diferrent clock.

  My ask is, can I do a hot Vmotion with some VM of a Xeon X 5470 server on a Xeon X 5365 server.

  Stability of Slackware, safety and simplicity are the best choice!

  Yes,

  the vmotion VMs between different generations of cpu is only posible to put these hosts using Enhanced VMotion (CVS).

  Improved compatibility for VMotion (EVC) simplifies VMotion compatibility issues

  through the generations of CPU. EVC automatically configures the server with Intel CPU

  FlexMigration or AMD - V extended Migration technologies

  compatible with the old servers. After EVC is enabled for a cluster in the

  VirtualCenter inventory, all hosts in this cluster are configured to

  present identical CPU features and compatibility for VMotion CPU. The

  features introduced by each host are determined by selecting a predefined EVC

  base line. VirtualCenter does not allow the addition of hosts that cannot be

  automatically configured to be compatible with EVC baseline.

  To use CVS, you must run ESX Server 3.5 Update 2 or

  highest with Virtual Center 2.5 Update 2 or higher and have only compatible CPUs

  are listed in one of the following tables.

  CVS does not allow for migration with VMotion between Intel and AMD processors.*

  VCA makes it much

  easier to add servers with the new generation of processors in existing clusters

  containing a material more former generation. Entering an EVC cluster servers are

  automatically configured to be compatible with the hosts already in the

  clusters. Since this process is automatic, EVC is very simple to use and

  requires no expertise on CPU features and masks.

• VMotion between several hosts

  I have just joined a company that executes 2 guests on ESXi 4.1 Standard, and both hosts have 1 CPU.

  I have get a business license for the two hosts to allow storage vmotion, but would welcome that bumping the hosts up to 2xCPUs (with additional CPU licenses).

  If finance means that I can't upgrade the two hosts, for example, if you had 1xCPU and the other 2, vmotion would fail? If so, will create a VCA basic iron out this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello..

  vMoton should work just fine for a long time the CPU being identical acrosse the two hosts and ofc with good installed licenses.

  It doesn't matter if a host has only one and another two physical processors. (Ive got a mixed cluster here with some guests with 2xCPUs and some CPU 4 x)

  VCA troubleshoots only presenting sets of features identical CPU on all hosts as long they are in the same family... See more details here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003212

• CAN I VMotion between ESX server with they are in different version?

  Hi all

  I want to upgrade my 2.5u1 to 2.5u3 vCenter, then upgrade my all the ESX Servers 3.5u1 to 3.5u3. VMFS on storage shared SAN and VMotion already activated. My question is if I upgrade the first server ESX 3.5u1 to 3.5u3, can I use VMotion to migrade the 3.5u1 virtual machine remains in the new 3.5u3 updated? Thank you!

  -david

  PS. I had been looking, but too many results or not exactly my scenario. So hard to find one suitable.

  Yes and you can even go to 3.0.2 3.5.3 without a problem. Usually, it is the target CPU model that causes pain when he is not the same.

• VM seems to restart after DRS vmotions to different host

  One of my vm has been migrated to host a (esx 3.5) to host b (esx 3.5). When I checked the log of the virtual machine (32-bit RHEL5), all services seemed to have been restart without the virtual machine after being powerrd, handed on, shut down or a loss of power. I have not seen this before... what caused this and how it can be prevented.

• How can disable switch between different input languages (= keyboard languages) by pressing the Alt + Shift keys? __

  Although I can now perform steps

  1. On the start menu, choose Control Panel.

  2. In Control Panel, select regional and Language Options.

  3. In the Regional And Language Options dialog box tab, under Text Services and input languages, click details.

  4. In the text Services and input, in the Preferences section languages, dialog box click on the key parameters.

  5. In the dialog box advanced key settings, click Change Key Sequence.

  6. In the change Key Sequence dialog box, clear the switch input languages check box, and click OK.

  7. In the advanced key settings dialog box, click OK.

  8. In the text Services and input languages dialog box, click OK.

  9. In the Regional And Language Options dialog box, click OK.

     But I need some settings registry keys to do the trick above to me, because it is difficult to do it on the number of PCs that requires users to restrict the swith between input languages.
     No idea or help is greatly appreciated.

     Thank you in advance.

  Hello
  I found the place where exactly this may be small :).

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Keyboard Layout\Toggle]
  "Hotkey" = "1".
  'Language Hotkey' = '3 '.
  'Shortcut page layout' = '2 '.

  Change the value of "Language Hotkey" accordingly.

  1 sequence of button enabled; Use Left ALT + SHIFT to switch between locales.
  2 key activated sequence; Use CTRL + SHIFT to switch between locales.
  3 invalid key sequences.
  4 If the default locale is Thai, the grave accent key activates / deactivates the input locale. otherwise the keystrokes are disabled.

  Another problem is that it sits under HKCU as well, same as if I pack this setting with MSI, it won't have a any use to me. Since then, installation is done using MSI localadmin account and HKCU is associated with the current session. If a new user who connects to this settting does not apply, and even if it rises "access denied" :(

  Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.
  Thank you.

• Fibre channel host bus adapters should be removed if not in use?

  We have a Dell Poweredge R720 server that has a Qlogic host an orphan in her bus adapter. The lighting on the HBA flashes yellow, green and orange. I wonder if this orphan adapter could use the system resources and if it should be removed.

  Kimblbob,

  Despite the HBA is not used, it will use resources. Now granted it's a very tiny amount, but he uses them what. When the card is installed, it will draw power, as well as the host server will spend processes in the sending of communications "heartbeat" with the card, it is ready to use it... Thus, while it is a VERY small amount, he uses them.

  I see no problem with you withdraw during a maintenance window.

  Hope this helps to answer your question.

• Having a problem with vmotion between two hosts with processors Intel E5640

  Hi all.

  We organize a group of 14 guests, each with ESX 4.0, build 261974 installed.

  They are managed through vCenter 4.0.0 and construction 258672, vSphere client 4.0.0 builf 258672.

  The hosts are blades from IBM, in a BladecenterH.

  Some of the blades are older model HS21 (type 7995) with processors Intel Xeon E5440.

  The rest of the blades are more recent model HS22V (type 7871) with processors Intel Xeon E5640.

  We are currently replacing old HS21 blades with more the HS22 blades, so we just bought 7 HS22s, all with the same Intel E5640 processors located in the blades currently in service. One of the things that this transition will happen for us is allowing us to have the same processor type in all of our blades and remove vMotion compatibility problems we had in the past. We were unable to turn on CVS, because we would have had to shut down a cluster of virtual machines on the latest hosts and could not take this kind of failure. We will turn VCA after that.

  Here's the question:

  We just installed the first new knives, and when turn on us and try to vMotion VMs to it, it fails. He gives us the error standard vMotion on CPU register incompatibilities, and that we should read kb1993. The thing is, they all have the same processor. Same identifier type, same everything, yet for some reason vCenter is convinced they are incompatible. We checked things in BIOS, and they are all the same.

  We are ideas, other than the new knives have a later rev BIOS than the old ones.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

• Question about Clusters and host bus adapters

  I have worked with ESX in a non-clustered environment, but I'm looking to experiment with clusters.

  If I have two host servers in a Vmware HA cluster (using VC 2.5)

  And I have these two server hooked up to an FC SAN, each with a FC HBA.

  Now, I create two virtual computers that will be part of a Windows / SQL cluster, do I need a second set of FC HBAS in each server?

  Now if I add a second series of cluster of virtual machines, this time window / cluster exchange, I have to add yet another set of HBAs?

  I understand that if I had a physical server, I need an HBA in each... but unsuire how sharing equipment works in vmware. It's the virtual FC HBA for ESX?

  Thank you!

  bilbus wrote:

  OK thanks, so as to be clear...

  so, if I have one HBA for each ESX cluster server (assoming I don't need double tracks) that's all I need?

  OK - all you need is 1 HBA per server.

  Once the server has a FC HBA (even if it is used for the ESX cluster server it self) I now have access to a virtual FC HBA on the set of my virtual machines?

  No, this is not how ESX.  Each VM has a virtual card SCSI attached to a VMDK on your data store, which is accessed throught he FC HBA above.

  Is there a rule on how many servers can share an HBA (another bandwidth then)?

  There may be, but its mainly led by IOPS / s and bandwidth.

• Impact of the loss of connection to all host bus adapters

  I was just wondering more of your virtual machines, freezing, there is risk of hard and corruption OS if all iSCSI HBA connections are lost? Reason being, I need to convince anyone here that we should not have our two iSCSI HBAs, going to a single as a single point of failure switch.

  Essentially, it would have the same effect as having a reader "disappear" in the physical world. You might meet guest OS corruption, corruption of data, or other bad things, like virtual machines will be essentially have crashed.

• Can we do vmotion between hosts with load balancing in network cards grouping different strategy.

  Hello

  We are implementin new host in our Infra and do some vmotions between different groups. A group a host with balancing 'route based on IP hash. " Can we do Vmotion to another cluster where the hosts have different load balancing policies. In addition, if we change the policy on new hosts in furture of load balancing is loss of downtime or a package?

  Kind regards

  Vikram Kumar

  First of all, no problem from VMs one ESX to another, they use different political Multipathing.

  Second, if you use IP hash, it means you are using etherchannel (or LACP) on the physical layer - configuration/cancellation of the configuration that almost always require that the uplinks are not used by any VMs, so you have time to synchronize the physical and virtual configuration. It is not a time out, but you need to plan accordingly - all depends on your physical network capacity.

• VMotion between 2 remote hosts on the same site

  Hey everybody. I am new to a company that owns 2 Server vCenter, one in each data center, and we have a few servers standa-only (no not a cluster) in some places.

  All hosts are registered with several Enterprise. Let me draw the locations, you will have an idea:

  VCenter1

  -Datacenter1 (remote domain controller 01)

  * Host1

  ...

  * Host15

  2 VCenter
  

  -Datacenter2 (remote domain controller 01)

  * Host16

  ...

  * Host30

  -Data Center 3 (LAN)

  * HostLocal1

  * HostLocal2

  That make sense, as I have 15 guests on data center 1 and 2. We use 2 VCenter to manage the HostLocal1 and HostLocal2, but we don't group them together and we do not have vMotion among them, because all vMotion traffic must go to vCenter, then on the second host, is this right? Is there a way to prevent this?

  Let me rephrase: VMotion traffic would be like this:

  HostLocal1-> VCenter 2-> HostLocal2

  Or:

  HostLocal1-> HostLocal2.

  Wrote this question down make realize me that my hypothesis is incorrect, vMotion traffic has nothing to do with VCenter, activities stems from these 2 servers. Can anyone confirm?

  Thank you very much for your time.

  Let me rephrase: VMotion traffic would be like this:

  HostLocal1--> VCenter 2---> HostLocal2

  Or:

  HostLocal1--> HostLocal2.

  vMotion traffic runs only between the source and the destination host ESX (i). The assumption that the traffic flows via vCenter's vMotion is downright bad. vCenter is simply required to initiate/control the vMotion between the hosts, but it is completely left out the data transferred between the host to move the virtual machine.

  The assumption that you need a cluster for vMotion object or clustering automatically implies vMotion won't as well.
