• Intel Xeon E5-2689 compatibility with C30

  Hello

  The Intel Xeon E5-2689 is compatible with the workstation C30 ? I couldn't find any reference to this CPU on the Lenovo Web site and it is also not mentioned in the ThinkStation (Sep 2013 ed) personal systems reference.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I took a chance and you just install 2 x E5-2689 in my C30 and they work perfectly! Windows 7 recognizes now 32 hearts (with HT).

  Thank you!

• Intel's Nehalem VMotion compatibility - And current Xeon

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone can tell me if the processors Intel Nehalem will be compatible with the Xeon VMotion, I in my BL460c?  I am looking into the possibility of adding some BL490c to our ESX cluster, once they are released, but I am wary of any possible difference in CPU.

  If you enable CVS in your cluster, you should not have problems with compatibility.

• vSphere CPU for vMotion - Intel Xeon compatibility

  Can anyone point to an article that shows what Intel Xeon processors are compatible in a vSphere cluster?

  A host with a Xeon 54xx series procs can join a cluster with Xeon 55xx series procs or a series 56xx procs?

  Thank you

  Take a look at http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003212 which lists the compatible CPU types. Article has not been updated for ESXi 5 day yet, so you can see the different names of basic CVO in vCenter 5.

• VMotion CPU compatibility: Intel Xeon 5150 and 5450

  Hi all

  I have a client that has the following servers running ESXi 3.5:

  IBM x 3650 with Intel Xeon 5150 (to two cores)

  IBM x 3650 with Intel Xeon 5450 (quad core)

  I think that the two processors are not compatible VMotion. What are my options?

  1. enable CVS?

  2. hide the CPU mask in vCenter?

  Help, please. Thank you.

  As long as you use Virtual Center 3.5 Update 2 or later version, then you can update CVS.

  Here is a guide to IBM on activation of this: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1011435

• vMotion compatibility Intel CPU

  Hi all

  I'm making reference to this document: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1991

  Requirements of VMotion CPU compatibility for Intel processors

  We have four servers BL460c G1 (Xeon 54xx CPU). I want to buy two new servers to replace 2 we have in an offbeat upgrade. The new servers are BL460c G7 (Xeon 56xx CPU).

  In the above document, our current processor is part of Group C. Our new servers fit into Group E. There are instructions of compatibility vmotion for vMotioning fast between the groups C - D and D-e... but I need to know if I can vMotion the c.-e. group. Is this possible, or what I can not vmotion?

  Thanks for your help!

• vMotion compatibility

  If I have two servers from different manufacturers in the same cluster DRS (Dell and HP), but both with Intel E5600 processors, are there problems with vmotion compatibility?

  See what VMware says:

  Sometimes, the suppliers of processors introduced changes important architects in the same processor family (for example, 64-bit and SSE3 extensions). VMware identifies these exceptions, if it cannot guarantee a successful with vMotion migration.

  Source: the CPU compatibility requirements

  How should I treat the Intel Xeon E3 and E5 processors or Intel Xeon X-series, series E, series L processors have different review or the series of numbers (e.g., v2, v3, v4, or x 5680, x 5687, x 5690)

  When you activate CVS for a cluster with Intel of E3 Xeon or Xeon E5 family processors that have different revision numbers (v2, v3, v4), a CVS base is necessary. This is due to new instruction sets is available in different revisions.  Although the processors will be the basis of CVS, it is mandatory for all processors have the same sets of instructions to virtual machines.

  As for the process of Xeon with different revisions, when you turn on VCA for a cluster with Intel Xeon processors even family (for example, E56xx, X56xx, L56xx), a CVS base is necessary. This is due to new instruction sets is available in different revisions.  Although the processors will be the basis of CVS, it is mandatory for all processors have the same sets of instructions to virtual machines.

• The processors for vMotion compatibility

  We have just upgraded to vSphere Essentials 6, Plus so we can take advantage of vMotion. We have built an almost exact replica of our existing Dell PowerEdge T420 server, so that we can have a high availability for virtual machines, they move from one physical server to another, depending on the needs. Looking through the documentation of DRS cluster, it is said that the processors 'must come from the same class of supplier (Intel and AMD) with the same family of compatible processor for migration with vMotion. . "(vSphere 5.5 Documentation Centre()'

  Our current server has a processor of v2 Intel Xeon E5-2440 (8 cores, 20 MB of cache, 1.9 GHz). The seller we buy our new generation of server of door the same CPU model number (Intel Xeon E5-2440), but with 6 cores, 15 MB of cache, 2. 4 GHz. They have to special order the exact same processor, we currently have. We will encounter any problems if the rest of the hardware is the same, but the processors are slightly different? Same supplier, same family, same model number – only with fewer cores, less cache, more GHz. Is that what I should consider before moving?

  Thank you!

  Ben

  Your processors are of different generations, the E5-2440 is a Sandy Bridge and the E5-2440 v2 is an Ivy Bridge, take a look here: http://ark.intel.com/compare/64612, 75263

  And since they are from a different generation, you need to activate CVS in your cluster to the power of the machine virtual vMotion between these hosts, have a look here for more information on the CVS: KB VMware: best vMotion compatibility (EVC) processor support

• Will run CVS for these 2 family Intel(r) Xeon L5410 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ AND Intel Xeon E5620 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ

  HI Experts,

  Will run CVS for these 2 family Intel(r) Xeon L5410 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ AND Intel Xeon E5620 of CPU @ 2.33 GHZ

  Not able to check the Compatibility Guide please help not able to Vmotion

  Class workstation machines are usually not certified by VMware, or the hardware vendor there.

  EVC should still work OK.  You will be limited to L1 - Intel Penryn due processor L5410.  When you create the cluster, the host to the cluster add first and then select CVS.

• VMotion compatibility guide

  Hi all

  Can someone help me find a compatibility guide for VMotion on HP servers. We run two HP DL380G6 servers with Intel® Xeon® X 5560 processors and you want to buy HP DL380 G7 servers with Intel® Xeon® X 5650 processors. I need to know if these different models will be able to vmotion.

• Basis of VCA for Intel Xeon Core i7 32nm

  Hi all

  I have a two-node cluster, each node processors are Inter Xeon CPU x 5660.

  I think I need to apply the update 1 or later in order to get the CVS working with these processors compatibility. I actually applied update 2 and I don't always get the opportunity to apply the level of reference Intel Xeon Core i7 32nm.

  There is a part of the process, need me to make this option available?

  Thank you very much

  Had to downgrade BIOS - seems the 2.1.9 and 2.1.15 versions are buggy...

  is the only one that worked without any problem: 2.1.3

  Download here: ftp://ftp.us.dell.com/bios/R710-020013C.exe

  now vmotion etc works perfectly.

• FT/HA/vMotion compatibility

  Hello

  I hope that the forum does not mind this strange issue. I tried to continue my learning of vSphere and ESXI installed on a white box with i7-2600 machine, on the Intel H67 chipset. Everything works

  I would now like to add a second esxi host, practice FT/HA/Vmotion. I intend to stick with the i7-2600 for the processor, but my question is, the motherboard chipset should it be the same? I have to stay with a motherboard that is H67?

  Thank you.

  -MN

  Hello

  Shorat response is "no, it doesn't have to be the same.

  Slightly longer answer is:

  For HA, it shouldn't make any difference if it's the same or not (mother or processor card). For FT, and vMotion processor count.

  Although FT and vMotion are apparently completely different one from the other, FT is possible with vMotion, so, the first thing to do is to understand the vMotion compatibility.

  The "only thing" vMotion to be is (apart from a shared storage, network connectivity, etc.) East of compatible processors between them. You can have a look on this

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212

  and this

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1991

  As you will see, processor questions and where you do not have the same processor, then you should play a little with VCA.

  This is a compatibility table for EVC and the mask, you need to use in case you want to use two different processors

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalID=1003212

  And in case you want to learn a little more about all these (basic knowledge), you can take a look in this doc.

• VMotion compatibility - different CPU

  Sorry to post a question, but I just haven't found the answer in the readme guides and admin I have for 4.1.  We use servers for our cluster, all HP DL380 G5 with the dual Xeon 5430 (quadcore).  We are looking to add a few boxes to the cluster, and we will most likely go with the HP DL380 G7 beings are current servers are almost two years now.  G7 will always have Xeon processors, but they will certainly have higher clock speeds to this processor will not match exactly.  In my view, that this used to be a problem in the past, when he came to VM vMotioning fast between the two different cpu.  My question is, is this even a question?  If I stay within the Intel Xeon family, I'm ok for vmotion between two different cpu?  The same of course, brand just diffenrent speeds and possibly different number of hearts.

  Thank you

• VCA and VMotion compatibility

  I am looking for a few new ESX boxes to expand our data center of VSphere 4 current U1.

  Ideally, I would buy Intel E7540 series servers because they can FT and adapt the specifications I need.

  I currently have a mix of X 5355 and E7330 ESX boxes.

  DELL sales tell me that E7540 processors are not compatible with the existing X 5355 vmotion and processors E7330 (even with active CVS).

  VCA and flexmigration enable me to vmotion (hot) between theses processors and processor E7540? I have the impression that the seller DELL is perhaps wrong as I thought VCA and flexmigration should mitigate the differences between these processors (obviously within reason)? Surely at least between the E7330 and the E7540?

  I had a look to many documents, including the KB Article: 1003212 but still trying to find a definitive answer?

  Forget DELL sales. They should be compatible under VCA VMotion (VCA's enhanced VMotion compatibility). But they are obviously not compatible FT.
