I have just joined a company that is running 2 hosts on ESXi 4.1 Standard, and both hosts have 1 CPU.
I will be getting a Enterprise licences for both hosts in order to enable storage vmotion, but would ideally like to bump the hosts up to 2xCPUs (with additional CPU licences).
If finances mean I can't upgrade both hosts, e.g, if one had 1xCPU and the other had 2, would vmotion fail? If so, will creating an EVC baseline iron out this problem?
Thanks
Hi..
vMoton should work just fine as long the CPU's are identical acrosse the two hosts, and ofc having the right licenses installed.
It doesn't matter if one host has only one and another two physical CPUs.. (Ive got a mixed cluster here with some hosts having 2xCPUs and some 4x CPU's)
EVC only helps out presenting identical CPU feature sets across all hosts as long they are in the same family...See more here: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1003212
