Hi all,
I'm referencing this document: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=1991
VMotion CPU compatibility requirements for Intel processors
We have four BL460c G1 servers (Xeon 54xx CPU). I want to buy two new servers to replace 2 we have in a staggered upgrade. The new servers are BL460c G7 (Xeon 56xx CPU).
In the document above, our existing CPU fits into Group C. Our new servers fit into Group E. There is vmotion compatibility instructions for vmotioning between groups C-D, and D-E... but I need to know if I can vMotion from group C-E. Is this possible, or can I not vmotion at all?
Thanks for your help!
