Hi!
I have enabled EVC mode on a vm. I need to know which cpu mode should I select?
The server that contain that vm has CPU model: Intel xeon gold 6148: codename skylake.
The codename is Broadwell not sandybridge
As per your previous thread, you mentioned the following:
xeon CPU E5 2680
If that is your CPU, then the maximum level is Sandy Bridge and no Broadwell. It is also displayed here: https://ark.intel.com/content/www/es/es/ark/products/64583/intel-xeon-processor-e52680-20m-cache-2-7.... Unless you are not sharing with us the proper version (v2, v3, v4)
Also, if you want to enable into a cluster you can do it of course but for the VMs that are running on the Gold host, you will need to power them off as the vMotion will not work as they are using CPU capabilities not available on the E5-2680. If you decide to go with the cluster, you need to do the following:
That way the cluster will pick up the EVC level and force the compatibility.
Please allow me to ask why you want to enable EVC on a VM. It's usually enabled on the cluster level.

This goes in chain with the following issue: https://communities.vmware.com/t5/vMotion-Resource-Management/Vmontion-error/m-p/2970555#M4859. Try to follow the same topic on a single thread.
So as per that discussion and that you are trying to migrated between a Xeon Gold and a Xeon E5-2680, you need to select the following level: Sandy-Bridge. This is like this as per VMware HCL: https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/detail.php?deviceCategory=cpu&productid=25&deviceCate...
