Hi All,
We have one HA cluster with four identical nodes with the following configuration.
Model=Fujitsu-Primergy RX200 S6
CPU=Intel Xeon E5645 @ 2.40GHz
Now, we need to add one host with CPU of Intel Xeon E5-2630 @ 2.30 GHz. I aware Enhanced vMotion Compatibility creates the baseline and suppress the new features compare than old one. But,when i enable EVC i can see there following EVC modes. Which mode i need to select for the mixed cluster with E5645 and E5-2630 Processors.
You can find the EVC mode for a processor in the VMware Compatibility Guide. You should choose the highest EVC mode that is support by both processors. In this case it is the Intel® "Westmere" Generation EVC mode.
See for more information about EVC mode: Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) processor support.
