Hi, I have a newbie question (hope you don't mind but maybe it's easy to amswer). I have one Dell PE 1950 with two dual core 3.0 GHZ CPU's (Xeon 5050) running ESXi 4.1 . I would like to add another PE 1950 with two dual core 3.0 GHZ CPUs (Xeon 5160). Would these CPU series be compatible for V motion? It is hard to match up CPU series when buying servers one at a time. I know there is some capability to mask bits, but how well does this work?
Thanks
You can use EVC to have CPU compatibility:
