• Confirmation on the presentation of the CPU Types & vMotion

  Hello

  It is my understanding that vMotion will not work unless you have shared storage and CPU compatible hypervisors.  Here's my question, if you say an Intel based virtual machine running on a hypervisor AMD (all hypervisors are AMD based).  This machine virtual is NOT a candidate for vMotion because it was created on a different architecture, is that correct?

  You cannot vMotion between different CPU vendors, period.  There is no work around.

• Sanity Check: Hardware compatibility: vMotion/CPU/VCA etc.

  Hi all

  We currently have a DRS cluster with 6 hosts Dell Poweredge R610 with Intel Xeon 5540 or 5530 processors which, according to article KB (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1991) are in Group D for the vMotion compatibility. (Nehalem-EP)

  I want to add new hosts to the cluster and try again Dell R620s. These have Xeon CPU E5-2640. I can't find an article with the same level of detail for the new processors. The compatibility guide Vmware tells me that it is a Sandy bridge processor?

  
  

  If I add hosts with newer processors to the cluster, be they work? Or do I have to turn on some sort of CVS mode?

  
  

  If I read this article (KB VMware: best vMotion compatibility (EVC) processor support ) he gives to think that I would need to market the VCA Level2 (Nehalem). This would be 'disable' have the CPU features in the new host beyond what former processors... But what happens in 'x' time of years when all guests have disappeared - presumbaly I can then disable compatibility EVC mode so that all the features of the CPU are presented? This would have a negative impact on existing virtual machines?

  
  

  Please could someone health mental check me or point me in the direction of something to reassure me?

  
  

  Thanks in advance
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  NB. Currently on vSphere 4.0, but the upgrade to 5/5.1 soon.

  
  

  
  

  I suppose that once the VCA mode is activated, it will always be equal to the level of the 'down' (older?) (In this case Nehalem) CPU level up to what the last host with Nehalem processors is removed from the cluster.

  Yes, that's correct.

• HA Cluster and vMotion CPU compatibility

  Will be the following servers and work of the processor all in a HA Cluster with ESXi embedded 4.1 with vCenter 4.1 vSphere?

  Reference Dell 2950 III Xeon E5410 @ 2.33 GHz

  Reference Dell R610 Xeon X 5550 @ 2.67 GHz

  Reference Dell R710 Xeon X 5650 @ 2.67 GHz

  Or will I have to activate the VCA Mode on the Cluster?

  Is there a chart that shows you what processor works in a HA Cluster and vMotion?

  You need a CPU mask on the VM vCenter migrating to the EVC cluster and adding one would require a reboot.  You can do instead.

  (1) create new cluster with appropriate VCA setting.

  (2) (2) migrer migrate virtual machines from one host, put it in maintenance mode and then move it to the new cluster.

  (3) stop vCenter.

  (4) connect to the host that was running with the vSphere client vCenter.  Unregister the virtual machine.

  (5) connect to the host in the new cluster, to save the VM vCenter and turn on.

• With VMotion CPU compatibility

  Hello

  only, we have installed a new esx server and now when I try to do a VMotion between my first esx Server I get an error, the incompatibility cpu ecx mask etc...

  I found the CPU compatibility matrix but I don't know that I understand... so I want a confirmation, please if my proc is compatible for Vmotion.

  Here are the 2 processors, Intel Xeon E5450 and Intel Xeon X 5650

  If it's not compatible what should I do? wait for a new version of Vcenter/vsphere? I actually use Vsphere/vcenter 4.00 update 1

  Thank you for answering this question!

  You said you have two hosts E5450. So why not Vmotion virtual machines to a host and then move it to the new cluster. In this way, you will see that it works or not.

• vMotion CPU compatibility

  Please can someone tell me if it is possible to warm vMotion between a host computer with 2 x 2.00GHz dual core Intel E5335 CPU and a second (not bought yet until I can answer this question) with core quad 2 x X5560s?

  Thank you very much

  Stu

  There are two options you can try:

  1. change the virtual machine-> advanced-> CPUID-> option and select Hide flag NX and migrates the computer to see if it works.  (Make sure that no other device is mounted to something like .iso) requires powering down of the machine to change.

  2 activate CVS on your clusters, but this will require your guests to be power off as well, so to work around this problem is standup new cluster that has active CVS then disconnect the virtual machines and register for the new EVC cluster.  (this will method will not require downtime)

  If you found this information useful, please consider awarding points to 'Correct' or 'useful '. Thank you!!!

  Kind regards

• 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.

• VMotion CPU compatibility - blades HP

  Hello

  I know there are plenty of posts about this, but I'm kinda stuck none-the-less. I have 10 servers HP BL460c G1.

  (1) two running Intel Xeon L5420 UC and ESX3.5

  (2) two running Intel Xeon L5420 UC and ESX3.5 U4

  (3) four are running Intel Xeon E5420 processors and U3 ESX3.5

  (4) two running Intel Xeon E5420 CPU and ESX3.5 U4

  The first four servers (1 + 2) above are all the same (they got the same partcode of HP and have been purchased together). (3) four are all the same, have been purchased together and have the same HP Partcode. The last two (4) were purchased after the other blades, but are the same Partcode of HP (3).

  Sorry if this becomes confusing.

  Can I VMotion between all servers except the last batch (4). Can I VMotion between these two servers, but try to VMotion to or from these machines (4) for all others (1, 2 or 3) goes down, with the following error:

  Cannot migrate new_host to old_host: host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of the virtual machine to the CPUID level 0 x 1 in the 'ecx' register

  Bits of the host: 0000:0000:0000:1100:1110:0011:1011:1101

  Required: 0000:0100:0000:110 x: xxx0:0x1x:xxx1:x 101

  Inconsistency detected for these features:

  • General incompatibilities; see the article 1993 possible solutions

  All of the settings in the BIOS (including Execute Bit disable them) are the same, and I am really puzzled.

  Anyone can shed some light?

  Thank you very much

• 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!

  The VMware Compatibility Guide for your research material and click on the CPU model. This will open a web page that shows all modes of EVC supported CPU.

• 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.

• Upgrade CPU on Satellite Pro 2100

  Hello world!

  This time my question belongs to the CPU in my Satellite Pro 2100. Currently under construction in an Intel Pentium 4-M GH 1.9, my question is, wether I could built in a processor (more powerful sense) "superior". Have seen CPU type Intel Pentium 4 M up to above 3.0 GH. Of course, this is related to the FSB, and due to the fact that I don't know what kind of motherboard I have, I just want to know if anyone here knows the maximum.

  I know there is Toshiba Satellite Pro Notebooks with 2.2 GH Intel Pentium 4 M processors inside.

  happy to all boards

  L0nestar

  I remember well the Satellite Pro 2100 was equipped with 5 different Intel Pentium 4 - M s CPU
  1.7 GHz, 1.8 GHz, 1.9 GHz, 2.0 GHz, 2.2 GHz

  So, theoretically, you can insert a 2.2 Ghz Intel Pentium 4 - M CPU.

  But please don't ask me if it is really possible because the CPU upgrade on laptops is different as an update on the desktop.
  On some older portable computers, the CPU has been fixed for the mobo and it was not easy to remove it.

  That's all I can say about this case.

  Good bye

• The upgrade of the P6510f with a Phenom II 965 Black Edition CPU

  I have a HP P6510f computer.  Originally, it had an AMD Athlon processor 4 630 X in it.  However, I bought a Phenom X 4 965 Black Edition. I improved the diet to a thermal take 500 watt and installed a GT 240 DDR 5 low profile card and I have 16 GB of ram.

  However, when I used CPU - Z, it is said that the basic speed is only 798,01 mhz.  But all my other friends have basic speeds similar to 4 times that speed, but they have different computer systems.  They said that I needed to change the speed and frequency in the bios.  However, when I press F10 to get to the top of cmos, I notice that the ability to change the speed or the CPU is grayed out.  Is not equipped for overclocking HP mother?  Do I have to buy a different motherboard?  I don't want to increase a lot!  Only a few megahertz.

  I cleared the CMOS three times.  Whenever I did, I would restart the system and for about 10/20 seconds, CPU - Z would say my basic speed was 3600.00 mhz.  But then he would go back to the 798,01 mhz 30 seconds later.

  Here are the specifications of your HP Pavilion p6510f desktop computer and here is a list of BIOS settings for motherboard Μatx-RS880-H (Aloe) in your computer. The 'CPU Type' and 'CPU Speed' are grayed out because they are information fields only. The motherboard does not support overcloking and "Black Edition" CPUs are not supported by this motherboard. According to AMD, the base/core speed for the Phenom™ II X 4 965 Black Edition CPU is 3400 MHz. Note also that there are two different Phenom II 965 4 processors X... with a TDP of 125 watts and the other with a 140 watt TDP. Your motherboard only supports valid processors up to 125 watt TDP.

• HP Pavilion dv6-3310ej: Upgrade CPU

  Hi HP.

  With the processor on which I can replace my current processor?

  Here is the Service Manual:

  Manual

  There are several faster processors (i7) listed, but you can't use them because of the motherboard. There is a different motherboard for dual processors and quad core and you already have the fastest dual core that is compatible, so you're at the top of the curve without upgrade potential.

• Change monitor VM CPU / MMU for best performance?

  People,

  I'm about to deploy new features of Windows Server 2008 R2 (Remote Desktop Session Host / RDSH) virtual machines to support 50 + a simultaneous RDP access.

  To control the virtual machine CPU / MMU may be a good idea to boost performance?

  Here is the setting that I mention that I left by default, but don't know which option to click to enable console vSphere:

  

  do I need to restart the virtual machine to change the option greater than the background value or something else?

  and also, it's the model of VMhost CPU type:

  

  any kind of comments would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Assuming that AMD - V is enabled in the BIOS of your host, the automatic setting for Windows Server 2008 R2 on your CPU will be AMD - V with IVR.  In most cases, this will give you the best performance.  However, for young LBR is much more expensive with IVR with shadow paging.  If your workload is a TLB buster, you might want to switch to AMD - V with shadow paging.  On the other hand, the page table updates are much more expensive with pagination shadow with IVR.  Thus, even if your workload is a TLB buster, it might be better to use IVR if your workload also has a high frequency of updates of page table.

  Binary translation is rarely a victory.  However, there are rare cases, such as the work of Windows XP 32-bit workloads that rub on the TPR, where the binary translation surpasses hardware-assisted virtualization.

  The only way to be sure that you have selected the best mode is all benchmarks.

  Yes, you don't have to restart the virtual machine to change the execution mode.

• HP c 460 CPU caused

  Hello

  
  I can't add below two servers clustered with activation VCA?

  both are servers blades with BL460c Gen8 with following CPU

  Intel Xeon CPU E5-2609 @ 2.4 Ghz - Hyperthreading not supprted

  Intel® Xeon® Processor [email protected] GHz - hyper-threading technology taken in charge

  can I know how to easily identify which group to ensure CPU compatibility? According to below article

  VMware KB: vMotion CPU for Intel processors compatibility requirements

  According to the HCL and Intel Xeon processor E5-2600 product family , you should be able to use the processors in the same cluster without needing to activate CVS, as long as you do not mix Version1 and Version2 processors.
