Vmotion and CPU Mask

So I have a DL380 G5 with E5345 processors and a DL380 G5 with E5450 processors. Trying to do a vmotion told me that the SSE4.1 wasn't compatabile. So I edited the vpxd.cfg like so.

--::Heart-:--:::--</ecx>

</level-1>

</default-vendor>

</cpuFeatureMask>

</all-guests>

</all-versions>

</esx-3-5-x>

</guestOSDescriptor>

Restarted vCenter and I was then able to vmotion between hosts, with one exception. I can't migrate a Windows box if the OS is configured as Windows 2003 Enterprise (32bit). All version of Windows 2003 standard and Windows 2008 Standard migrate just fine; just Enterprise doesn't work. Any ideas?

Im having the same issue with two DL580's

#1 is E7330

#2 is X7460

I edit the config file but still can't Vmotion.

Where do I change in BIOS to enable non-execute?

EDIT: I copied and paste what you had and it worked.. I swear that was the same as I had (obviously not) Cheers Smiley Happy
