vMotion between E5630 and e7540
Hi all
We can after activating the CVS vMotion between models of the following processors:
Between
Processor Intel Xeon E5630
&
Intel Xeon E7540
Between
Processor Intel Xeon E5630
&
Processor Intel Xeon E5640
I went through the VCA compatibility chart but I don't understand it. Help, please.
New features in each generation of processor. However in order to migrate live virtual computer, the CPU characteristics presented to the virtual machine must be equal on the source and target host does not cause problems (such as BSOD). The different EVC baselines hide or reveal certain CPU features to the virtual machines that are common for all processors in the cluster. Table 1.1 in the article you mentioned some of these CPU features.

vMotion between versions and licenses
I have a question about vMotion in vSphere 4.1. It is primarily on licenses, as I know technically what I'm asking, it's doable.
With the inclusion of vMotion in Standard licenses, can run a mixed environment (eg. Enterprise and Standard licenses) and vMotion between hosts with different licenses?
For simplicity, assume that the environment is running 4.1. Although if you know, could you please indicate if it would work between versions (eg. between 3.5 and 4.1 or 4.0 and 4.1).
Thank you.
The answer you are looking for is + 5.23.2Yes. As long as you have licenses vMotion on all host ESX (i), and you meet the requirements of vMotion (shared storage, CPU compatibility, network, etc.) whereas there should be no problem. Remember that if a mixed environment of VI3 and vSphere4 hosting, do not upgrade the comment tools.

VMotion between DL380G5 and DL380G6
I'm trying to vmotion between a DL380G5 and a DL380G6 machines but I get an error:
Host CPU is incompatible with the requirements of the VMS to edx "CPUID level 0 x 80000001 registry".

I understand that I'm able to hide those stars in the vpxd.cfg file, but I'm not sure that I would need to put in this file.
Thanks in advance
Sorry - I should have mentioned that in my last post. Also, check that your guests are under tension when you finally activate CVS on your cluster.

Hi all
I have read many sites mentioned my question but I'm a little confused, so I want to ask here if someone can help me.
I have a test lab with a ML350 G6 (with qnap 439 pro II iscsi), now I have another server and I want to do a few tests/Labs. But the problem is that the new server is a microserver HP with AMD processor. With HA activated when I try to vMotion virtual machine, I get errors on the incompatibility of the CPU. So, how to get around the CPUiD mask? I tried with the maskering official vmware KB the RDTSCP and CMPXCH16B, but it does not work.
Is there anyone who has had the same problem? Or should I only use a cold migration?
A big thank you to all and have a nice day
Luke
In fact, I know that I must or "must" use cold migration.
Hello
You use cold migration :-) no reverse
But there is also an official KB of vwmare http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1993 saying and explaining how to hide and mask id CPU of derivation.
As has been said in the previous answer, you have to have a CPU with the same provider, regardless of if you want to create the CVS base or masking of CPU by VM

vMotion between different processors
On my last job, I had two clusters vmware, using four hosts with HP DL580 servers and the other with two hosts in a HP BLADE system, I don't remember the model.
So when I tried to move an active VM for clusters to each other, I got an error, so I'm looking here on community and I got the awnser is the reason the hosts had different processors and I can only move this virtual machine, if they are closed. If I can only move cold VM between my cluster.
OK im on a new company name and they had M$ Hyper-V and now we are migrating to VMWARE (cool ) we have two DELL Poweredge servers, one with two Quad-Core Xeon X 5470 and the other with two Xeon Quad - Core E5320.
So I guess I'm having a problem of fact a vmotion hot between it because the servers have different processors.
So im buying new processors, but I find only Xeon Quad-Core X 5365, I think that it corresponds to that of the X 5470 but with cache and diferrent clock.
My ask is, can I do a hot Vmotion with some VM of a Xeon X 5470 server on a Xeon X 5365 server.
Stability of Slackware, safety and simplicity are the best choice!
Yes,
the vmotion VMs between different generations of cpu is only posible to put these hosts using Enhanced VMotion (CVS).
Improved compatibility for VMotion (EVC) simplifies VMotion compatibility issues
through the generations of CPU. EVC automatically configures the server with Intel CPU
FlexMigration or AMD - V extended Migration technologies
compatible with the old servers. After EVC is enabled for a cluster in the
VirtualCenter inventory, all hosts in this cluster are configured to
present identical CPU features and compatibility for VMotion CPU. The
features introduced by each host are determined by selecting a predefined EVC
base line. VirtualCenter does not allow the addition of hosts that cannot be
automatically configured to be compatible with EVC baseline.
To use CVS, you must run ESX Server 3.5 Update 2 or
highest with Virtual Center 2.5 Update 2 or higher and have only compatible CPUs
are listed in one of the following tables.
CVS does not allow for migration with VMotion between Intel and AMD processors.*
VCA makes it much
easier to add servers with the new generation of processors in existing clusters
containing a material more former generation. Entering an EVC cluster servers are
automatically configured to be compatible with the hosts already in the
clusters. Since this process is automatic, EVC is very simple to use and
requires no expertise on CPU features and masks.

Hello.
Yes, you need to activate the VCA mode as described in KB 1003212 for the 5570 and 5670 to work together. Regardless of the number of cores.
Good luck!

VMotion between 2 remote hosts on the same site
Hey everybody. I am new to a company that owns 2 Server vCenter, one in each data center, and we have a few servers standa-only (no not a cluster) in some places.
All hosts are registered with several Enterprise. Let me draw the locations, you will have an idea:
VCenter1
-Datacenter1 (remote domain controller 01)
* Host1
...
* Host15
2 VCenter
-Datacenter2 (remote domain controller 01)
* Host16
...
* Host30
-Data Center 3 (LAN)
* HostLocal1
* HostLocal2
That make sense, as I have 15 guests on data center 1 and 2. We use 2 VCenter to manage the HostLocal1 and HostLocal2, but we don't group them together and we do not have vMotion among them, because all vMotion traffic must go to vCenter, then on the second host, is this right? Is there a way to prevent this?
Let me rephrase: VMotion traffic would be like this:
HostLocal1-> VCenter 2-> HostLocal2
Or:
HostLocal1-> HostLocal2.
Wrote this question down make realize me that my hypothesis is incorrect, vMotion traffic has nothing to do with VCenter, activities stems from these 2 servers. Can anyone confirm?
Thank you very much for your time.

Let me rephrase: VMotion traffic would be like this:
HostLocal1--> VCenter 2---> HostLocal2
Or:
HostLocal1--> HostLocal2.
vMotion traffic runs only between the source and the destination host ESX (i). The assumption that the traffic flows via vCenter's vMotion is downright bad. vCenter is simply required to initiate/control the vMotion between the hosts, but it is completely left out the data transferred between the host to move the virtual machine.
The assumption that you need a cluster for vMotion object or clustering automatically implies vMotion won't as well.

vMotion between ESX 3.5 5.1 ESXi MAchines?
Hi guys I need to know if possible to a Vmotion between ESX 3.5 s machines to ESXi 5.1?
I hace 2 servers with ESX 2.5 I want to do the update to 4.1 and then to 5.1 hot, for that, I have 4 new esxi 5.1.
Accoeding to http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix.php? It is not possible because you cannot manage the ESX 3.5 with vCenter 5.1 - I advise to use VMware Converter to V2V virtual machines to the new environment of 6.1.

Hello
We are implementin new host in our Infra and do some vmotions between different groups. A group a host with balancing 'route based on IP hash. " Can we do Vmotion to another cluster where the hosts have different load balancing policies. In addition, if we change the policy on new hosts in furture of load balancing is loss of downtime or a package?
Kind regards
Vikram Kumar
First of all, no problem from VMs one ESX to another, they use different political Multipathing.
Second, if you use IP hash, it means you are using etherchannel (or LACP) on the physical layer - configuration/cancellation of the configuration that almost always require that the uplinks are not used by any VMs, so you have time to synchronize the physical and virtual configuration. It is not a time out, but you need to plan accordingly - all depends on your physical network capacity.

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,
Simon
