CPU Mismatch

[Natsidan]

Getting the following error on the two new host that are on 3.5 update2.

Unable to migrate from xxx to xxx Host CPU is incompatible with virtual machines requirements. I understand this can be maked on a VM level but is there any way this can be masked on a HOST level. The KB1993 ,1992,1991 are no longer available.

Hello,

I believe EVC deals with it now but if your running 3.5.0 less than Update 2 you can do the following to change all VM's

Edit the vpxd.cfg file in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter

and after the <vpxd> insert the following then restart your VC

<guestOSDescriptor>
