EVC Mode Required?

We are running Cisco B200 M4 Blades - Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2683 v4 @ 2.10GHz

We have purchased some B200 M5 Blades to go into the same Cluster - Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6132 CPU @ 2.60GHz

Do I have to enable EVC mode to make sure we can move VMs between hosts in the cluster? If so which one?

Thanks.

Google is great for things like this.

Intel tell you the family:

Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2683 v4 (40M Cache, 2.10 GHz) Product Specifications
Intel® Xeon® Gold 6132 Processor (19.25M Cache, 2.60 GHz) Product Specifications

You will need Broadwell mode for EVC:
