CPUFeatureMask in vpxd.cfg just doesn't work

Hi!

I've got the problem, that I'd like to vMotion between to diferrent Opteron-generations and have to mask some CPU bits. I've done this manually on one VM to find out, which features I need to mask and then tried to apply that to all VMs using this vpxd.cfg :

<vpxd>

...

<guestOSDescriptor>

<esx-3-x-x>

<all-versions>

<all-guests>

<cpuFeatureMask>

<amd>

<level-1>

<eax>--::-0:--::::--</eax>

<ecx>--::smileyshocked:-:--::::--</ecx>

</level-1>

<level-80000001>

<ecx>--:::::-0:000-:----</ecx>

<edx>--::-0:--::::--</edx>

</level-80000001>

</amd>

</cpuFeatureMask>

</all-guests>

</all-versions>

</esx-3-x-x>

</guestOSDescriptor>

...

</vpxd>

I then restarted the Service "VMware Virtual Center Server" and stopped and started another VM, but I still can't vMotion it to my other ESX-Server. (I get the same error message I got when no CPU mask was enabled).

Am I missing something here?

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards

Dennis
