Thanks. What about a scenario where you have EVC mode disabled. All your Hosts are "Sandy Bridge" so there is no detrimental effect. Down the road you get an "Ivy Bridge" Host. For this Host to participate in the cluster, you would now need to enable EVC Mode for "Sandy Bridge".
If I recall, you can dynamically modify EVC modes without affecting VMs (they just won't notice the change until VM power cycle. Does that also apply to "enabling" EVC mode on the fly? Could I enable EVC mode, set it to "Sandy Bridge", add the "Ivy Bridge Host to the cluster and start moving VMs to it?
