Hi communities,
Have a esx 4.1 u2 cluster with some esxi4.1 hosts in it. I have an issue were i can vmotion between the esx hosts in the cluster but the esxi hosts cannot vmotion to the esx 4.1 hosts.
I get an error message saying the cpu's are different although they are not.
Any helps appreciated
Hi Aneetu,
I did a check there on one of the clusters we manage here and are running r710's - different BIOS's can cause these types of issues so definitely check the revision levels
This error message usually occurs if the hosts have different BIOS settings or even different BIOS versions.
see http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1029785
Enable EVC mode on the cluster and then check. ESXi host server would have different CPU instructions compared to ESX host server.
Thank you both i will check my settings in the meantime
