Hi,
i have installed a new blade server ESXi 4.1 Update 3 with an Intel Xeon CPU E7-2803 1.73 GHz and i insered in a cluster based on 12 blade ESXi 4.1 U3 with an Intel Xeon CPU X5650 2.67 GHz and i tried to enabling EVC for vmotion compatibility, to do this i selected the Intel Xeon Core i7 template that seems to be compatible with both the CPU but it can't pass the compatibility check for the 12 blade ESXi 4.1 U3 with an Intel Xeon CPU X5650 2.67 GHz with this error: "The cluster cannot be configured with the selected Enhanced vMotion Compatibility mode; CPU features disabled by that mode may currently be in use by powered-on or suspended virtual machines in the cluster."
Any idea?
After migrating all the vm from a blade that blade disappear from the compatibility error, it is possible that i have to shut down all the VM before enble the EVC?
I have about 70 VM in the cluster......
