HP Blade Servers - G1 \ G6

Hi,

We have 2 HP BL460 G1 Servers in a cluster. We want to add a new HP BL 460 G6 Server into the existing cluster.

Both G1 & G6 HP servers are using Intel processors?

Is this ok or will this cause an issue with the Virtual machines? in regards to vmotion etc?

Thanks in advance...

W have HP BL 460 G1 servers also. They are from the 5450 family. If I am reading this chart correctly you can do this if you enable EVC.

We were also using bl460 G1 but we migrated to G6

EVC didnt work for us since the CPU features of G1 were very different from G6.

so we had to shutdown the machines before the migration.
