• 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

• CPU compatibility for vmotion

  Hello everyone

  We plan to virtualize office with a view.

  I have a server with 2 xeon E5620 CPU intel 4 c 2.40 MHz. I have to buy another server, but I can't buy the same. The other server have 2 CPU E5640 intel xeon 2.66 MHz 4 c.

  Is - is this compatible CPU for vmotion?

  I read vmware documentation on CPU compatibility, but I can't find the answer.

  Thanks for your help.

• 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.

  Thank you

• 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.

  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?

• 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.

• 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.

• Steps for VMotion

  Hi all

  Is it possible to do VMotion betweeen two ESX servers without virtual Center? I have the trial version of 3 VI that has hypervisor ESX and virtual center client. I want to do vmotion using VI SDK 2.

  Is it possible to perform VMotion using all this?

  Do need me a permit for this?

  Also, when I try to see the configuration of ESX server licenses, I see nothing in connection with VMotion. I enclose copy of screen of the configuration section for the ESX Server. Can someone explain please these questions?

  Both ESX servers are installed on their respective hard drives and are not started from SAN. Two ESX Server sees a SAN disk. What else do I need for VMotion? Material of both servers ESX is the same. There is no problem of cpu compatibility check.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  A simple answer: No.

  You can also install the VC server in evaluation mode. VC server is the central management body that allows you to VMotion VM. If you use the SDK to move the virtual computer, you must use the API of the VC server and not an independent ESX host.

  If you want to use these features in production (VMotion, DRS) you need to a license to company for the ESX host and a server VC license.

  Screenshot of advertising: you do not use Server VC and all the features that require the VC server are not available as VMotion.

  Requirement for VMotion: shared storage for the virtual machine, several networks (production NW for traffic, VMkernel port for VMotion traffic). VMkernel port for VMotion traffic must reside on its own physical NETWORK card with a GBit network! Also, you must labeld compatible networks.

  I hope this helps.

  Cheers, Matthias

• upgrade processor for p6514f

  I want to upgrade the processor for this system.

  HP Pavilion p6514f

  Windows 7 Pro 64-bit

  500 GB HARD drive

  5 GB OF RAM

  Socket LGA 775

  I checked the specifications of the card mother IPIEL-A3 (Eureka3) which States that the processor can be upgraded to a Core 2 Quad processor. I bought one that's a Q6600, Slacr Malay, 2.4 GHz / 8 Mb/1066/05 a - L846A603

  When I installed the new processor, the system did not want to start and the message displayed briefly on the screen, said that the processor was not compatible with the system.  Where am I wrong?  I thought I did everything right, but now I have a processor with nowhere to go.  Good blood!

  I could not find any discussion about this upgrade on this system, so I hope someone might know the answer as to why this processor does not work with this system.

  Thanks for any help!

  Here are the specifications of the card mother IPIEL-A3 (Eureka3) in your computer. According to the specifications;

  Motherboard supports the following processor upgrades:

  TDP: 95W

  Series Intel Core 2 Quad (Yorkfield core)

  Series Dual Core Core 2 Duo Intel (core Wolfdale)

  From my research, the Q6600 processor you bought is based on the core Kentsfield. According to the specifications of the motherboard, your system supports processors based core Yorkfield. Based on this information, your system should work with the Yorkfield based Intel Q8xxx and/or Q9xxx processors.

• Receive the error message "this version of Lightroom can require the Photoshop Camera Raw plugin version 9.3 for full compatibility.

  Hi all

  I hope there, can someone help me with a Lightroom/Photoshop small but annoying issue.  (I saw a similar post on the subject here, but it was for an earlier version of Photoshop Camera Raw and the answers did not help me).

  Whenever I choose to edit in > Photoshop in Lightroom to edit a file I get the message error "this version of Lightroom may require plug-ins verson Raw Photoshop Camera 9.3 for full compatibility.  Now, I know that I can get Lightroom to make the file or hit continue and that he either will get the job done.  But I want to the difficulty of what is the cause.  I'm on a Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10.5, I have Lightroom 6.3 (known as camera Raw 9.3 in the section about Lightroom) and I use Photoshop CS6 13.0.6 x 64.  I tried to click on help > update in Lightroom and Photoshop, but this has not solved the problem.  I tried following the instructions on the Adobe Web site to manually update the Camera Raw plugin that is supposed to be located at (from memory) (root folder) library > Application Support > Adobe > Plugins, but I don't have a Plugins folder (and yes I'm looking in the library under the root folder (, not under my user name).

  Advice!

  Camera Raw 9.1.1 is the LATEST version which is compatible with Photoshop CS6.  You will not be able to update to 9.3.  In addition, Lightroom now up to version 6.6.  See the note in this article

• The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode.

  Hello everyone

  Here's the situation...

  I have:

  vSphere 5.1 Cluster with two 5.1 ESXi hosts and configuration VSA.

  vCenter Server running on a virtual Windows Server 2012 machine.

  Task: Transfer virtual vCenter to a physical machine.

  I have install the physical machine with Windows server 2012.

  Installed vCenter 5.5 (hosts Newer then the ESXi 5.1)

  VSA installed Manager (VSA Cluster 5.5)

  When go to VSA Manager I am introduced to the following screen...

  

  Recover DOES NOT work!

  Full move operation DOES NOT work!

  It recognizes the Cluster AUV-> check availability (is online and OK)-> begins to create the Cluster VSA and it fails with the following error...

  Move the cluster host

  VSA HA Cluster

  The host cannot be admitted to the current cluster Enhanced vMotion compatibility mode. Under voltage or suspension of the virtual machines on the host can use the CPU features hidden by this mode.

  Could someone please help?

  Thanks to you all! This problem has been SOLVED as follows...

  • VCenter Server go to--> "C:\Program Files\VMware\Infrastructure\tomcat\webapps\VSAManager\WEB-INF\classes".
  • Open the file "dev.properties" with Notepad
  • Change the line that says "evc.config.baseline = lowest" to 'highest = evc.config.baseline' and save the file.
  • Perform the SERVICES. MSC and reboot 'VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices'

  After that it of back in the VSA Manager and run it again 'Cluster of VSA recover'!

  Now, the wizard should be able to add hosts to the inventory, create the HA Cluster and add hosts to the HA cluster and configure Cluster HA.

  Done everything! :-)

• Support processor for ESXi 5.0?

  Our company is currently using vSphere deployed on ESXi 4.1 servers and we are looking to try out the new 5.0 before actually buying the upgrade, but we wanted a devil of a time finding a server it will run on. When I try to install on our servers, they say that the LAHF and SAHF CPU instructions are not supported on this processor. It's probably expect that the waiters are about 5 years, so I decided I would build my own server to test with. Looking at the page system requirements 5.0 ESX http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1003661 looks like it is said the Intel Xeon 3100 series is supported.

  So my question is: is the supported Intel L3110 processor for sure?

  I got the specs on this processor from: http://Ark.Intel.com/products/32709/Intel-Xeon-processor-L3110-%286M-cache-3_00-GHz-1333-MHz-FSB%29

  You can perform a search in the hardware compatibility matrix below

  http://www.VMware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php

  But Ko say its taken care of, so it will be supported, give it a try and see... But as the hardware compatibility of vmware matirix said not his only supported on esx (i) 4.1 and lower version, could be the case, the HCL site is not updated. See the link on intel xenon 3100 and the version of esxi supported below

• VMotion compatibility between Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) and Opteron 6200 (Interlagos)

  Anyone know if knew that Opteron 6200 (Interlagos) are compatible with Opteron 6100 (Magny Cours) VMotion?

  VMware used to maintain an up-to-date list of processors with a compatibility matrix, but I didn't see a current copy of this document within a certain time.  The last that I could dig up was 2008, so I ask my question here.

  Also, if anyone knows of a compatibility matrix was updated that they could tell me, that would be helpful.

  Thank you!

  Allen: I can confirm that VMotion works between Opteron 6100 and 6200 if you are using the CVS 'AMD Opteron Genesis 3 (no 3DNow!) '.

• 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
