Hi,
I have 2 Dell Power Edge 2950 III , 2 Dell Power Edge II and 1 Dell Power Edge 2900 Server
2667 Mhz CPU is installed in all the servers.. (dont know the exect cpu model, This is the only hardware information I have)
I will use VMware ESX 4.1 and want create a HA and DRS cluster of all the 5 servers.
My Question is Can I create a HA and DRS cluster using all the 5 servers.
Thanks in advance.
If CPU models are not the same you can enable EVC cluster feature to normalize them.

Hi
You probably would need to use EVC mode to achieve this
But you will have to check the compatibillity before you promise anything. Checkout more about from this link
More on the compatibillity work through this KB - http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=100576...

Hello,
Moved to the vSphere Availability forum.
You can always setup HA on two different servers.... However, it works best when they support EVC.... DRS will require EVC capability.
