Hi,
we currently have two ESX servers in our HA/DRS cluster: HP ProLiant DL580 G4 with the following CPU info:
processor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.80GHz
stepping : 8
cpu MHz : 2793.134
cache size : 1024 KB
fdiv_bug : no
hlt_bug : no
f00f_bug : no
coma_bug : no
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 5
wp : yes
flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss tm nx lm
bogomips : 5570.56
Now we want to expand the cluster with a new server. If possible, we'd like to buy a DL380 G5 with quad core processor. Indeed, we're unsure, if this constellation will work without cpu masquerading!!! Sure, if the cpu flags are different, we have to do masquerading, but if possible we wanna avoid that (seems to be a complex topic!).
Does anyone of you have these informations?
Thanks and regards
Marco
