https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/about-choosing-cpu-model-in-cluster/m-p/7266584#M2185 <P>Hi all,</P><P>We have a question about choosing CPU model when provisioning the Cluster:<BR />In HPE document, it only shows that " If unsure or if you don’t know of a specific reason to choose one or the other, select host-passthrough which is the default option". So if we have hosts in the cluster with different CPU models, what is the correct way to select the CPU model? (For example, should we choose the lowest-end CPU?)<BR />And when changing the CPU model, will the VMs in the cluster be affected? Do we need to power down and then power up the VMs in the cluster again?</P><P>Thank you,</P> Wed, 06 May 2026 03:15:10 GMT tungxp 2026-05-06T03:15:10Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/hpe-morpheus-vm-essentials/about-choosing-cpu-model-in-cluster/m-p/7266584#M2185 <P>Hi all,</P><P>We have a question about choosing CPU model when provisioning the Cluster:<BR />In HPE document, it only shows that " If unsure or if you don’t know of a specific reason to choose one or the other, select host-passthrough which is the default option".
