All,
I have a cluster made up of two servers that are meant to be identical. They're both BL460 G1 blades, with E5420 Xeons. Call them 16 and 17
For some reason, when I go to turn on EVC, I get issues about one of the two (16) having hardware that doesn't support EVC.
Additionally, I had a mix of guests that had started on one or the other when this came up. I was able to vMotion guests from 16 to 17, and back; but if they started on 17 the couldn't move. The error was CPU bitmask; NX/XD not available on 16. I checked in the BIOS, 16 should have NX/XD available. Can anyone shed any light on this? Has vCentre got its knickers in a twist somewhere, and how do I untwist them?
I can't get the precise error about the vMotion issue back any more, because all of the guests have now been shut down and restarted on 16, so that they can migrate.

Have you checked that the Intel VT technology and Execute Disable Bit options are enabled?

Yes; but I'm angling for another chance to look soon. Everything tells me it should be the source; to the point I don't trust my eyes from last time.

Argh. VT was on, but XD was off. And I had looked. I had I had I had.
Thanks.
