VMotion Error Between ML350 and ML350 with diffrent INTEL CPU's

Hello Togehter..


Got a small problem here at the field Smiley Wink

Used HW:

I i try now to move a VM from an old to a new or a new to an old i get this error:

http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/1383/errorsbs.jpg

EVC is disabled on the Cluster and HA atm also.

I google that and found the VMware KB http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100371...

I palyed around with the NX DX flag i checked the Bios stuff on the new ESX (The old one ar still runnig so i cant check) But i know the

Mem Protection is enabled the VT also and also the Hypertheading.

I also tryed to reset the CPU mask on the VM.

A cold migration is working perfectly. The Network (VMotion) is also configured correct. and the VM tools are also installed on the VM.

Has any one a clue why this is not working?

I checked the CUP Details on the Intel Site.

http://ark.intel.com/products/47925/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5620-(12M-Cache-2_40-GHz-5_86-GTs-Intel-QP...)

http://ark.intel.com/products/37103/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E5530-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-5_86-GTs-Intel-QPI)

So there are Diffrence betwenn these maybe the most important the Instruction Set Extensions but could it be that they are incopatible.

I cant belve that ... yes an other difference is the Lithography but uhmm......

Im glad about any Inputs or Ideas.

Cheers

Hello.

NoteL: This discussion was moved from the VMware ESXi™ 4 community to the vMotion & Resource Management community.

EVC is disabled on the Cluster and HA atm also.

You will need to enable EVC. Check out kb 1003212 for more information.

Godo Luck!
