I have a number of HP DL380 G5's, a DL580 G5 and some DL380 G6's. The processors I'm using are 73xx, 53xx & 55xx
I'm wondering, should I create a seperate cluster for G5 and G6's or just dump them all in 1 cluster.
I know that if I enable EVC and set this to Intel Core 2, each of the above hosts should sit happily in the same cluster.
The thing is, I'm not sure what I'll lose in terms of capabilities from the new G6 hosts.
Option 1 - Create a single cluster, enable EVC and lose the advanced features of G6's (not sure what these are and if I'll notice)
Option 2 - Create 2 clusters, but will essentially lose a host in each cluster to HA redundancy.
Does anyone know if there are any significant negative side effects which I'll encounter by enable EVC at the Intel Core 2 level?
Thanks in advance
