There is no shared storage between the servers. They do share the network, they are in the same subnet I can ping each other with no problem. I enabled EVC in the cluster with Intel Merom Generation mode. I was able to migrate another VM to the cluster when is set its EVC to the same mode. The hardware on both hosts are the same, except that one has CPU E5-2640 while the other E5-2660. The migration is not attempted. I cannot get past the validation stage.
I tried to run tail -f /var/log/vpxd.log, but that file is not on the server. The server has a vpxa.log file, which I this output while I tried the migration again:
