VMware Vmotion compatibility matrix

[Simone_Reale]

Hi all,
I need informations about VMware Vmotion compatibility between:
-BL460c with processor Intel Xeon E5320
-BL680 G5 with processor Intel Xeon E7450

Thank you a lot,
Simone

If you are running VMware ESX 3.5, then you have the ability to use the Enhanced VMotion Compatibility (EVC) which will do the CPU masking for you.

I am currently using the EVC for AMD and have DL385 and DL585G5's in the same cluster.

Specifically, I do not know that is will work, but it "should".

Simone;
I asked a question along the same lines on the Intel Server Room a couple weeks ago in anticipation of the release of Nehalem technology servers. The answers I got should also give you some feedback on your question. See the thread here:
http://communities.intel.com/thread/3099

In short the compatibility should be no problem.
