Quick vMotioning problem between two servers HP BL460c Gen 9 when EVC enabled

I have two HP BL460c Gen 9 blades configured exactly the same thing with 2 x Intel XEON E5-2660 v3 processors in each of them. Both running the same version ROM (I36 06/05/2015) and running the same version of ESXi (5.0.0 build 2509828). They are managed by a Server Build 2656067 vCenter 5.0.0.

When I configure these two servers in a cluster with EVC disabled I am able to vMotion between them. However, if I activate the Intel EVC modes so I am unable to vMotion between these two identical servers.  Here is an example of the message that I get when I updated Westmere VCA mode

Host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register

Bits of the host: 0000:0010:1001:1000:0010:0010:0000:0011

Required: x 110: x01x:11 x 1: 1xx0:xx11:xx1x:xxxx:xx11

Inconsistency detected for these features:

* General incompatibilities

If I disable CVS, then I can vMotion VMs between them.

I wanted to add these hosts to an existing cluster configured with EVC Westmere mode so that I was able to vMotion between old and new guests, but was unable to vMotion VMs off the new hosts, even if I tried to vMotion to another new host.

Configure a new cluster with only these two new hosts to so I could experiment. I can only vMotion between them if CVS is disabled. I cannot further increase the VCA mode on this new cluster, for example of Westmere to Sandy Bridge then I have virtual machines under tension within the cluster. For example: I put the VCA mode at Westmere, feeding on a virtual computer, when I go to change the CVS to Sandy Bridge mode I get the following message, I should be able to increase the VCA mode but may not lower it

The cluster cannot be configured with the selected Enhanced vMotion

Compatibility mode; The CPU features disabled by this mode may be currently in use

by slot voltage or suspension of the virtual machines in the cluster.

I get this message even if I try to set the VCA mode at the same level, that it is already.

Anyone got any ideas on how to solve this problem?

Hello

Seems, your CPU supports 5.0 ESXi and vCenter 5.0, you must upgrade your vSphere vSphere 6.x for the VCA.

    I tried a lot of things, but now I have no idea what to do or what to try next. It is true that I have no deep understanding of Cisco etherchannels yet, so I guess that my mistake is somewhere in the IOS configuration.

    Thanks a lot for your support and welcome to Germany

    Stephan

    Hello Stephan,

    With EtherChannels, a single flow (the flow of images/packages with the same source and destination) is always carried by a single link only. Implementation of Cisco implements not balancing on connections in an EtherChannel load by package, and it avoids a reason: executives could get reorganized, something this plain Ethernet never should do. This means that you will not see an improvement in bandwidth on the speed of a single link to your EtherChannel for a single stream. It is only the overall bandwidth for several stream which increases. The advantage of EtherChannel becomes therefore obvious that if your server starts many conversations and several stream handling.

    Best regards

  • Replication between two servers without direct connecton

    Hi all

    In this case, we have two servers without direct access between them (firewall, security requirements). In fact the two servers are stored in different VPN.
    and the question is:
    Can you build an architecture that will provide replication between them (include the server in downstream, trails in the intermediate machine bank file, or something else)?

    Much love and thanks for your suggestions))

    Hello

    In this case, your downstream server should be able to communicate to your Source and target.

  • vMotion between two servers vCenter

    From what I've read so far, it seems that this is not possible, but I just wanted to ask to make sure.

    Is it possible to live migrate a virtual machine on a host managed by 'a vCenter server' to another host managed by "vCenter Server B? All subnets and storage is exactly the same (we have our own hosts and storage, but it's just all managed under a vCenter Server now). We're just trying to completely separate our hosts and virtual machines to a subcontractor who took over the virtual environment (with the exception of what runs my team)

    I have the feeling that this requires time, which is unfortunate, because it means that it will take an extremely long time to coordinate and plan for all this work. Thought it was worth asking if...

    Thank you.

    I did something similar week last during the upgrade a 4.0 environment. I installed vCenter 5.1, then disconnected and removed the hosts the old vcenter (without first disconnecting that will prompt you to place the host in maintenance mode) and finally added to the new vCenter Server without downtime for virtual machines.

  • Forward and meet vmail between two servers of the unit?

    I have a network with where two unity servers are connected and they are able to vmail prior to each other. (I did it using information from a document in a previous post

    ( http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/voicesw/ps2237/products_installation_and_configuration_guide_book09186a00801ba396.html ) However, when this is done, it is not an option to meet the vmail in vmail transmitted within the same server of the unit. Is it possible to configure it to respond? In other words, can you set up to meet the vmail passed the way you can when a vmail is routed within the same server Unity? Is it still possible? I don't see it in the document. The unity server is 4.03 with out-of-box Exchange. The other is 3.1.6 with a box on Exchange unit. Each is in a different domain. Thank you.

    No, there isn't a way around him. Putting servers in the same forest requires a reinstallation of the unit. You can use DiRT to help you do it, but this isn't something that we document step by step, because this isn't a normal activity. The only real challenge you may have there naming. As the dirt trying to match the name in SQL with the directory during a restoration, if you have any overlap, you may have some problems. I had read the help file for dirt to get a better idea about the process of migration:

  • Utility FNDLOAD between two different servers

    Hi friends,
    For the phase of the UAT of our project, we have a new server (server with RedHat Linux ES4 HP).
    We need to migrate reports form the unfounded (IBM - AIX 5.3 p) server to the new.
    FNDLOAD works between two different servers?
    If not, please tell me the reason why it doesnot work between servers.
    I would also like to know if there is a way to migrate data between two servers.

    As indicated in the documentation, it does not work between servers. You export the metadata and get an output file. Then, you take the output file and transfer it to the new source. Complete with examples, including the necessary part of XDOLoader.

  • Load balancing and replication between two ESX servers

    This point is covered in another post last month, but I want to assure you that I am

    erase before ordering anything.  We run a VMware

    Server (ESX Server 3.5 Enterprise version).  I have about 12 VM

    running on the server. The server is connected to via fiber channel to

    a Clariion drive Bay.  We backup each virtual computer inside the virtual machine, not outside in

    it.

    I want to buy an additional VMware Server which

    provide redundancy. The second server VMware will also point the

    Bay of same discs (shared storage).  It will store some VM as well.

    What

    I want to do is to have two servers balance between them.

    Also, I want that there return replication while is a server

    Dies, it will be responsible for all virtual machines.

    What I have

    read, we need to use a combination of VMware HA, DRS and VMotion to make

    all it - OK?  I intend to buy another license of the VI3 enterprise as well as a permit for VirtualCenter Foundation.  Finally, if I have company for both servers ESX licenses and

    VirtualCenter, which gives me VMware HA, DRS and VMotion

    capacity?  I appreciate any guidance on this.

    I don't think you can automatically load the balance between the two boxes.   the shared storage ensures guests / VM have the current data available.  No actual replication necessary.

    Just take your Hardest hit of VM and split them between the two hosts.

    On VMotion?  It is much easier to run just a host with a failure to another identical host.    I have not attemptied it in any other way quite a few facilities.   Do you think that your host is running out of gas?   I used to think that as well, but I'm surprised how much any given host can be loaded up without experiencing consitantly performance problems.    If they are windows?  You can check how the VM is performing pretty easy with the Windows performance tools.  All this with low end Iscsi San, I can only imagine how fiber of rocks on the performance.

  • Laptop user moves between 2 servers the IPCC CAD problem

    Call unique Manager cluster 4.02 SR1, separate the 2 servers of the IPCC (3.5 (3)) are installed, one in each building. 100 MB ethernet between the sites.

    I have a user that moves between the 2 buildings. They have the installed CAD. How can I get the CAD turn to the IPCC correct server when the user changes buildings? Is there a. INI file that could be exchanged with a batch file or is it a bunch of registry entries that tell the CAD which server of the IPCC to connect to?

    We do this from time to time, when you work with different clients. Assuming you have the same exact versions of software, which you say that you don't have, you can do it with only changes in registry. You must exchange the content of:

    Setup HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Spanlink\Site

    and then run the agent. You can pick up the right CAD clients installed registry values, or you can get them on the respective servers of IPCCX who have exactly the same inputs in the same places. Use the registry editor to export the contents of this key in a file, their two servers or two customer installs. Give these two .reg files to the user.

    Just a double click on the .reg files in Windows in the local registry (after confirmation), is important to crush what is already there. Then start the CAD and he will speak to the good LDAP directory and the server IPCCX.
