EVC Support

[krowczynski]

Hi,

we are currently running 4 ESX hosts of type DELL 2950 with Intel Xeon X5460 processors.

Now I want to buy an additional Server, here I would choose an Dell R710 with an Intel Xeon X5600 processor.

So far I want to use Vmotion I would create a new EVC cluster.

Is it supported to create an EVC cluster with this two types of cpu, and will vmotion will running?

Thaks for answers.

Hi,

thanks for answer.

I also saw this kb article, but was not sure if this will work.

So you think should be no prob?

I also can take an Xeon 55XX in my DELL R710 configuration.

You are talking about merom and penryn cpus....You can create a EVC baseline between these two!

Hi,

thanks for you help.

So I will buy an new R710 server with a Xeon 56XX and create an EVC Cluster with my existing Xeon X54XX cpus.
