vMotion between two hosts with different version?

• 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,

• vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard s VM

  I can VM vMotion (without shared storage) between two hosts with different vSwitches standard? The vSwitches on these two hosts have different names and number of NIC, but have the same name of portgroup.

  
  Thank you.

  Yes, you can in a Storage VMotion to one Esxi to another with no shared storage...

  It is important the portgroup bears the same name... This is the reference for the VM...

• Can I use Lightroom CC between two Macs with different versions of the operating system

  I have the CC for photographers. I keep my work to Dropbox LR catalog and access them from my MacBook Air laptop or my desktop iMac computer. Currently, two computers are running the same version of Mac OS. I think to upgrade the laptop for the new OS of Sierra, but because the office is older, I thought maybe not upgrade (it is near the minimum end of systems that can run Sierra). Can someone tell me if there is a conflict with the help of the LR catalog between two computers if they are not both running the same version of Mac OS. When the catalog is saved in the operating system that you are starting, it would still be compatible for use on the computer with the previous version of Mac OS? Thank you! Barbara

  If the machines use the same version of the software, then the files should be feasible in both machines.

• Having a problem with vmotion between two hosts with processors Intel E5640

  Hi all.

  We organize a group of 14 guests, each with ESX 4.0, build 261974 installed.

  They are managed through vCenter 4.0.0 and construction 258672, vSphere client 4.0.0 builf 258672.

  The hosts are blades from IBM, in a BladecenterH.

  Some of the blades are older model HS21 (type 7995) with processors Intel Xeon E5440.

  The rest of the blades are more recent model HS22V (type 7871) with processors Intel Xeon E5640.

  We are currently replacing old HS21 blades with more the HS22 blades, so we just bought 7 HS22s, all with the same Intel E5640 processors located in the blades currently in service. One of the things that this transition will happen for us is allowing us to have the same processor type in all of our blades and remove vMotion compatibility problems we had in the past. We were unable to turn on CVS, because we would have had to shut down a cluster of virtual machines on the latest hosts and could not take this kind of failure. We will turn VCA after that.

  Here's the question:

  We just installed the first new knives, and when turn on us and try to vMotion VMs to it, it fails. He gives us the error standard vMotion on CPU register incompatibilities, and that we should read kb1993. The thing is, they all have the same processor. Same identifier type, same everything, yet for some reason vCenter is convinced they are incompatible. We checked things in BIOS, and they are all the same.

  We are ideas, other than the new knives have a later rev BIOS than the old ones.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you!

• File sharing between two computers with DIFFERENT Versions of Windows (XP & Vista)

  I just bought a WRT54G4 Wireless-G router broadbad & am a n00bie to this any thng in network.  I like the current state of things now, all considering that both my desktop PC (Windows XP Home Edition) & my laptop wireless PC (Windows Vista Home Premium) are online (local & Internet) BUT I can't seem to get things while my desktop PC sharing files which can then be read and otherwise accessible by the laptop.

  Here's what I'm trying to...

  * Have BOTH computers access the Internet via a private network (which I already managed to do)

  * Having the Office to share files that are accessible (wireless or not) from my laptop

  Essentially, I want to be able to use the TWO HDs according to needs.

  My office is an old computer AMD Duron 1 Ghz. with 512 MB RAM & can handle a FEW small spots, but the big gun is my laptop (A 1.86 Ghz. Intel Pentium with 3 GB of RAM). Because of his speed & memory, I would like to have the laptop handle larger & more intensive tasks.

  Although my laptop has a smaller hard drive compared to my office (A 136 GB HD in the office (200 GB) compared to a 141 GB (I guess this HD is around this size, but since it came pre-installed, & I am currently leasing to buy, I don't know), I would like to be able to use if possible of the TWO HDs.)  All I need is for both computers see the two HDs & all the files on it.

  I tried implementing the sharing of files, as shown elsewhere on the Linksys site, but he lost when I rebooted both my computers, since that's what the page told me to do (I followed Windows XP as the Office has all the files that I want to share & Windows XP is the operating system of the desktop).  Should I have not done this?

  In addition, my ultimate goal is to GET RID of the big bulky monitor I connected to the back end of my desktop PC & all simply use the laptop instead, because it does not take a lot of desktop space.  Y at - it an emulator "Virtual monitor" or software of some sort that I can download (for FREE please ) that will allow me to see the jobs of all the computers on my network, just as if I

  had REAL monitors?  If so, where could I find one?

  In short, together, I have accomplished a lot lately since I bought the router & linked computers, as you can see, I still need help & I've got some learning to do.

  Any help I can get would be MOST appreciated.

  See you soon

  Make sure that the file and printer sharing is enabled...

  Also, make sure the computer are in the same workgroup...

  Default workgroup in Windows Vista has been renamed to WORKING group. In Windows XP, the default workgroup name is MSHOME...

  Also go into the computer on each computer software firewall and set it to "trust", other computers on your network.
  If your firewall or PC security program maintains a list of approved applications (also known as a "zone of confidence"), so make sure that your router is in the zone of confidence on your firewall...

• Stop reboot request when fast vMotioning to a host with a different processor

  I need help to find a better way to deal with a prompt to reboot my users get due to a vDesktop in model (Dell 710) host vMotioned to another (Dell 720). The difference between the two is the processor models. The 710 is a Xeon X 5670 and the 720 is a Xeon E5-2667. The two processors use the same .inf (cpu.inf) file and apparently the drivers. Simply, it triggers the installation process of the material causing the Plug and Play Manager to require a restart of the operating system after the installation. The result, I'm wanting just needs that this reboot window displays don't not weither would it by slaughtering the hardware installation process, hide the window of dialogue itself, or any other possible way to configure the system which does not show users. I've confirmed that you don't have to restart the machine remain operational. Here is some additional information on the operating system and all.

  Windows 7 32 bit

  1 vCPU

  2G of RAM

  vSphere 5.0.0 623860

  Discover Constable's 5.0.0 481677

  Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated.

  I encountered the same problem and the only solution I've found so far is to start the master on both hosts.  When he started on the two hosts, the message no longer appears when moving the virtual machine back to a host with a different model of CPU.  I have two clusters currently, so I have not tested vMotioning fast machine between hosts with different CPU while it is running.  When I had the chance to test, I'll post my results.

• VMotion on two hosts

  We have two hosts and are currently using the same network/vswitch vmotion and vm management.

  I understand that it is best to separate the network for vmotion management.

  (1) may simply run a straight cable between two hosts?

  (2) should the vmotion switch be in a separate network?

  Based on the number of physical network interface cards in your host, instead of connecting the two hosts directly without switch, allows to isolate the vMotion traffic and management VLAN and given that you're going to use a VLAN different you will need a different subnet (network).

• I want to connect to a network printer hp cp1518ni with different versions of windows (win7 & winxp)

  I want to connect to a network printer hp cp1518ni with different versions of windows (win7 & winxp). My pc with win 7 work ok, but the pc with win xp not 'see' the printer on the network. What is the additional driver should I install?

  Thank you

  Hi @OHIMATAS,

  I see by your post that you are unable to network that is connected the printer to the Windows XP computer, but Windows 7 computer. I can help you with this.

  Make sure that the Windows XP computer is connected to the correct network name, not a guest or the other network.

  Print a configuration page to get the IP address of the printer.

  Print a Configuration Page.

  Try and access the printer on the Windows XP Embedded Web server.

  Type the IP address in the address bar of your web browser. (Internet Explorer)

  It loads the page Web has?

  If you are unable to access SAP of the printer, check the IP address on the computer to see if the first 3 sets of numbers match the printer IP. They must match to be on the same network.

  Go to start, type executer run in the start search box, type cmd, and then type ipconfig.
  Check the IPV4 address.
  Now, check the IPV4 address for the printer.
  Do the first 3 sets of numbers match?

  Try and ping the printer.

  In the same window, type ping printers (space between ping and IP address) IP address
  What are the results?

  Run the Wizard add printer in printers and faxes, if you were able to access EWS of the printer.

  Please provide detailed results if you're still having problems.

  Good day!
  Thank you.

• syslogging to 2 host with different levels of severity?

  I have a PIX that sends the logs to a host with Cisco syslog installed. It is configured to send messages of level 3 (as required by the internal standards) of gravity.

  I have another host which collects the theses papers too, but I want some info - level 5 or 6.

  ? is it possible to config the PIX to send logs on 2 different hosts with different levels of severity?

  you configure the pix to send to 7 on a syslog server. configure you this server to send events to the level 3 to another server. I think that it should be possible

• Move a virtual machine to turn off between two hosts, shared storage

  Dear Experts,

  Please guide me for the next case. There are two hosts of Esxi, host 1 is Esxi 4.0 and host 2 is Esxi 4.1. There are store data SAN storage that is visible to both hosts.

  I watched solard winds VM monitor utility that hosting 2 consumes 90% of the memory while its processor is ok. On host 1 is normal. So, I want to spend only a few VM of to host 1. So please correct me if what I think are OK. I will turn off the virtual machine to be moved from host 2. Then I it will remove host 2 inventory. Then on host 1, I'll go to the data store in the folder that VM and do a right click on the file 'say add to the inventory' and now I'm going to see this virtual machine in the inventory of the host list, just turn on and everything is perfect, is this correct?

  Second question on the same hosts, there are a few other data stores that are visible to a host. As if this is the case there is a virtual machine on a data store that is visible to host 2 and I want to spend this VM to host 1 to reduce load on host 2. How to move this virtual machine because this data store is not visible to host 1? Will I have to copy this VM files in a data store that is visible to host 1? If YES then what real required to copy files?

  Kindly help me.

  Kind regards

  From your description I m assuming that you use not vCenter to manage your hosts, correct?

  If you have a store of data shared between two hosts you can do the steps you descripte (power off, remove the inventory etc.).

  For your second case there are several ways, it depends on where you want to place the virtual machine in the future. Wouldn't be on the shared data store that already exists or can in the local data store on the other host? Or is there an option to also display the current data store to host 1?

  If you want to copy the VM files copy the whole folder of it.

  Kind regards

  Mario
