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!

  • 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 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,

    I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.


    Thank you.

    Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

    It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

    I'm having a problem with the FireFox browser. I have attached two files that describe the problem. I have marked their A & B. A is how it should look like and B what happens once I have, I opened several tabs. I can get it back to normal if I click VIEW, click Customize. When the window customize appears that Firefox returns to its normal state. I have to click on the done button and go back to what I did. I tried to reset FireFox back to the default settings, but that has not fixed the problem.
    It started happening a month. Is there a way I can fix this? Thanks for your help. I don't know how to fix my 2 attachments that shows the problem I'm having.

  • Having the problem with the function on SG300 Dhcp / 500?

    Having the problem with the function on SG300 Dhcp / 500? now I can use the dhcp server on the two model, but have a problem.

    My problem is when I create

    VLAN 1: 192.168.0.1/24 dhcp pool 192.168.0.10 - 250

    VLAN 10: 192.168.10.10 - 250 192.168.10.1/24 dhcp pool

    case 1

    I plug the pc to vlan 1 can I get ip 192.168.0.11. But when I change this pc to a new port in vlan 2 I always get the same ip address. why I can not get IP of vlan2.

    case 1

    I plug the pc to vlan 2 I can get ip 192.168.10.11. But when I change this pc to a new port in the vlan 1 I always get the same ip address. why I can not get IP of vlan1.

    but when I have access to the switch and remove the link after that that i will get correct IP.

    I think this is the bug of this firmware. Could you help this case.

    This is a known bug that is the setting of Cisco

    Hi Trickstar777,

    Please follow the steps below:

    • Please check if you have installed browser security extensions, please disable them. (For example: AD BLOCK, Advisor to Mcafee website, toolbar of internet security etc.)
    • Disable the firewall on your machine.
    • Turn off the firewall of the security program installed on the computer Internet. (Norton 360 - disable the following in it: Surf safely, firewall, browser protection, download intelligence)

    These changes are temporary you can restore these changes back to normal once your creative cloud application is in place and functioning *.

    (1) uninstall Creative Cloud Desktop Manager:

    Using creative cloud | Uninstall the creative cloud desktop application

    (2) delete following folders: (if you do not see any folder skip this step)

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\OOBE

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Application Manager

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Creative Cloud files

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Adobe\ MAA UPDATER and two OOBE (App data & Program Data is folder hidden please see, Show files and folders hidden in Windows 7, 8.x, 10, or Vista)

    \Adobe\ DONNÉES C:\Program rename SL-STORE like SL-STORE_OLD

    3 - Click on the link below and download Creative Cloud Installer file and use them to install the creative Cloud Desktop application.

  • VMotion on two hosts

    We have two hosts and are currently using the same network/vswitch vmotion and vm management.

    I understand that it is best to separate the network for vmotion management.

    (1) may simply run a straight cable between two hosts?

    (2) should the vmotion switch be in a separate network?

    Based on the number of physical network interface cards in your host, instead of connecting the two hosts directly without switch, allows to isolate the vMotion traffic and management VLAN and given that you're going to use a VLAN different you will need a different subnet (network).

    It seems that your screen displays some graphical anomalies when you connect to your user name. I would use these troubleshooting steps in the following article on the resolution of screens:

    Restart your Mac in safe mode to reset the default display resolution.

    If booting safe mode doesn't resolve the problem, reset your Mac NVRAM and SMC to reset the video ports on your Mac to their default values.

    From: get help with graphics issues on external displays connected to your Mac.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.
