XenMotion Support Requirements
XenMotion is the capability for a VM to be migrated between physical hosts
within a XenServer resource pool with no interruption in service. XenMotion
is only possible among hosts that are part of a resource pool. A resource pool is
an aggregate of one or more homogeneous XenServer hosts, and can support
up to a maximum of sixteen hosts.
Homogeneous XenServer hosts have the following features:
• Each CPU is from the same vendor
• Each CPU is the same model (except for stepping)
• Each CPU has the same feature flags
For more information on resource pool requirements other than processor
models, see the XenServer Administrator's Guide at available on the Citrix
XenServer Dell Edition website at citrix.com/xenserver/dell.
