Adding DL360 gen9 to gen7 vmware cluster

Dear forum

 

At this moment I have a vmware essentials plus 5.5 U2 cluster with two DL 380 & 360 G7 servers.

 

I an looking in to add a third server and thinking of adding a NEW DL 360 Gen 9,

 

Are there any major issues I can encounter adding a new server with different more advanced processors.

 

having the same memory on all server

Hello,

 

I strongly suggest not to mix the different generation servers, as the processor in each of these generation has different enhancements.

 

So when you a mix of servers with different generations then the lowest generation server processor features  will be taken as the baseline.

 

These can effect the overall performance.

 

 

Find the more details in the below link.
