Does adding hosts to an EVC enabled cluster require a reboot?

If a host is being added to an EVC enabled cluster, and it's processor meets the baseline requirements, will it need to be rebooted as part of the process?

No, the host won't need a reboot.

However, if the EVC mode is lower than the host's CPU features, and you have powered on VM on that host, you will need to shutdown those VMs (or migrate them off from this host).

I get it. The VMs would be asking the hypervisor for CPU features they couldn't use.
