Online Migration error "CPUs are not compatible"

[ABC Unix]

Hello,

I tried running my first online migration today and got the following error:

sourcehost# hpvmmigrate -o -s -h desthost
hpvmmigrate: Connected to target host using 'desthost-hpvm-migr'
hpvmmigrate: ERROR (host): CPUs are not compatible.

The sourcehost is a bl870c i2 blade server
The desthost is a bl870c blade server

I read through the manual and it states that processors must be of the same "family" for online migrations to work (which mine are although one is a newer model):

sourcehost# machinfo -v |grep Family
Family 32, model 1, stepping 1
desthost# machinfo -v |grep Family
Family 32, model 2, stepping 4

I'm pretty sure I'm not reading the manual wrong since it's spelled out very clearly that only the "Family" is what needs to match (page 175 of Integrity VM 5.2 Admin Guide).

Any help/suggestions are greatly appreciated!

By the way I'm running Integrity VM 4.2.5 on both hosts.

[Torsten.]

The BL870c has Intel 9000 or 9100 CPUs, but the "i2" has Intel 9300 CPUs - they are totally different (dual-core vs. quad core).

The 9.3 manaul says


Migration among serverswith processor family 32 andmodel numbers 0 or 1 is supported. Otherwise, online migration is supported among servers with identical processor family and
model number.

Thanks I contacted HP Support, there is an error in the 4.2 and 4.2.5 Integrity VM documentation. The new documentation for 4.3 mentions that Family 32, Model 2 CPUs don't work with any other processors of the same Family.

Model 0 and Model 1 of Family 32 work together though.
