Live migration from old CPU to new CPU platform

[tien86]

Hello,

I can use vMotion with VCE to down baseline level of new CPU platform. However, the VM cannot use new features of the CPU. Is it support if I use vConverter to hot clone to new CPU Platform and keep  the system online

After you migrate all your VMs from the old hosts to the new hosts, and assuming the new cluster have only the new hosts, you can raise the EVC level of your cluster and the new CPU features will be exposed to virtual machine, but you will need to power off and power on the virtual machines to be able to use the new features.
