• 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

• Problems of VMotion with different CPU´s

  Hello

  I have an ESX Cluster with 4 guests. These hosts have the following CPU´s:

  1 Intel Xeon 5160

  2 Intel Xeon 5160

  3 Intel Xeon L5320

  4 Intel Xeon L5335

  VMotion works fine without problems.

  Now, I've added a cluster host 5th with Intel Xeon L5420

  When I want to migrate a virtual computer, I get this message: ' cannot migrate from xxx to xxx: host CPU is not compatible with the requirements of virtual machine´s to CPUID level 0 x 1 'ecx' register. " Inconsistency detected for these features: SSE4.1

  Before I bought the new hosts, I checked the compatibility matrix and I m sure that this processor is working.

  How can I solve this problem? I read the KB1993 but I Don t get it :/

  Any Idea´s? I Don t want to change each VM (there are 29 vm´s of the cluster).

  Can I disable SSE4.1 for the new host?

  You are right. Even if you get it to work, it would not be a supported configuration. To test this, you must configure ideally just a virtual machine to test with the appropriate changes based on KB #1993. Specifically, you can follow the instructions in the "Change the default mask" section for SSE4.1:

  Change the default mask

• SRM with different CPU clusters?

  Hey guys,.

  I can't find info on it so I hope someone can point me in the right direction.

  In SRM, geographically dispersed clusters can have different CPU providers? A group would be entirely AMD and the other an Intel.

  I have no experience with MRS whatsoever, and since the VM will be restarted remoetely I think that it would work. If it was me, I would

  remain consistent even if

  Please consider my response as 'useful' or 'proper' marking

  If I understand your question, you will not have a problem with different types of CPU in your clusters to protected site vs.recovery...  The only downside that I can think of is to old versions of Linux not having only not modules loaded into the kernel of the architecture of the chip.  I've personally done this and still have a single cluster of Intel that retrieves an AMD cluster, all virtual machines of RHEL 5.

• How to migrate a virtual VC server to another host ESX with different CPU ID

  Hello

  by updating my equipment VI 3.5 of old AMD Single Core of AMD Quad-Core a problem has occurred: the new CPU´s of course have a different CPU - ID, so it is not possible to do a live migration of my virtual server VC from the old machine to the new one.

  A migration cold is of course not possible, because after the stop server vc I ve no connection via VC Management Console... of course

  How can I get my VC-virtual server running on new hardware, I guess that there must be a solution and I hope I m not the only one, who runs a virtual VC server and must change the material

  I look forward to any possible solution, thank you very much.

  If the VCVM is on the only shared storage remove the virtual machine from the old host and enter it on the new host by connecting the VI client to each host. TO register to browse the store of data and right click the .vmx file and click Save

  If not on the shared storage (but I hope it is) you can copy the files from the virtual machine (*.vmdk and.) VMX file) from one host to another using the SCP. Then connect to the new host using the VI client and enter the VM VC

• PowerCLI about whether vmotion/FT/manegent traffic is enabled or not

  Get-vmhost | % {(get-view_$_.id).config.vmotion.ipconfig} | Select IP address, subnet mask

  Especially look in the correct direction, but does not provide information if vmotion/FT/manegent traffic is enabled or not

  I looked at the extension data - extensiondata.config.vmotion.netconfig, but did not find this info also.

  Otherway it works

  Get-VMHost-location xxx | Get-VMHostNetwork | Select the host name, VMkernelGateway - ExpandProperty VirtualNic | Where {$_.} VMotionNoteEnabled}

  but I tried to do that

  Get-VMHost-location xxx | Get-VMHostNetwork | Select the host name, VMkernelGateway - ExpandProperty VirtualNic | Where {$_.} VMotionNoteEnabled - eq $false}-> does not work... something escapes me in this.

  Please suggest.

  Great idea, just add a Where clause to get just the vmkernel vNIC

  Get-VMHost $myESXi | Get-VMHostNetworkAdapter |

  Where {$_.} {DeviceName-match ' ^ vmk'} |

• 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.

• 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.

• VMotion issues with cpu AMD 6276

  Hello

  We have recently added several Dell M915 blades to our cluster (two chassis blade M1000e) - now, I have the problem that I can not vmotion a VM for these new devices, get the following error:

  

  The new leaves are equipped with 6276 opteron processors, while the old ones (also M915) use CPU 6134 - I ran 'cpuid' on the old and the new knives to compare.

  First of all, the older host with processor opteron 6134:

  

  Now, the new using 6276 CPU:

  

  It is said "EVC support: no ' for the new... I was expecting "Gen 4", so I could lit EVC cluster and set it to level 3 to any compatible host. But that won't work, because vCenter then complain the new hosts supporting not level 3.

  Any ideas what I could do? Is this a problem with the BIOS settings in the Dell hardware (I installed the latest version of the BIOS and all settings related to virtualization are on)? Or is it a problem with VMware, not yet fully support this CPU? Or is this CPU really it incompatible with older AMD processors?

  Thanks for any help,

  AMD dropped the 3DNow! instructions of the newer processors.  However, you should be able to put all these machines in a cluster using the AMD Opteron Genesis 3 (no 3DNow!) VCA mode.

  is there another way to activate the CEV on my existing cluster and does not create a new?

  You can try to create a new cluster and select CVS it and move all your hosts to this cluster

  should I turn off my vm all?

  You will need to put the hosts in maintenance mode. So what you can do is put the host 1 in maintenance mode, virtual machines will move to host 2. Now move the new active EVC cluster host 1 and continue to do this until all of your hosts are in the cluster. You can try vMotion your VM 2 host to host 1 which is now in the new cluster, but it all depends on what your processor will hide VCA is activated... And if you cannot vMotion, virtual machine in a VCA not to an active evc cluster cluster, then Yes, you will have to turn off and restart your virtual machines in the new cluster

  I also have SRM ad site.do I need to activate the CEV on the cluster, I have here (a different Vcenter)

  No u don't.

• Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm: I can swap different CPU into a model motherboard Celeron?

  Hey all,.

  I have a laptop Compaq Presario CQ57-339wm requiring a logic board replacement. According to the sticker on the Palm, it has an Intel Celeron processor clocked to Interior.

  According to the CQ57, the motherboard service manual I ordered (reference number: 646177-001) is "for use only with the computer models equipped with an Intel Core i5 or i3 processor processor and a graphics subsystem with UMA video memory.

  Since I have a Celeron CPU and motherboard instead, would replace this motherboard for the work of the Board of Directors i5? I think that the mobo, I ordered does not include a processor i5, just the current Board. I could swap the chip Celeron of the old Council to the Board of Directors i5, or that wouldn't work either? I have to install a compatible rod that matches the part number of the old mobo? (646174 001).

  If it won't work, I return to the Commission, as I have not yet opened and order a compatible card. Moreover, if the installation of the Board of Directors will work, and I just need the compatible CPU, I could order one that would correspond to the reference, like this eBay i3.

  "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." -Issac Asimov, from its roman Foundation.

  I think that you understood. The Celeron and Core Intel models use a different motherboard with a different chipset and processors cannot be exchanged.

  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?

• VMware esxi5 problemi con the rete. The comments not effettuano he ping back the host

  Hello to all,

  STO sbattendo tested con questo problema da at least due giorni e non capisco causa.

  Macchine comments sound provviste di due schede di rete ognuna delle quali punta ad UN vSwitch (vSwitch0-> vmnic0,-> vmnic1 vSwitch1).

  The prima anomalía sorge quando, tramite vSphere Client clicco sulle info delle vmnic, ed ottengo "Cisco Discovery Protocol is not available on this physical."
