XenMotion Support Requirements
XenMotion is the capability of a VM to migrate between physical hosts
within a XenServer resource pool with no interruption in service. A resource
pool is an aggregate of one or more homogeneous XenServer hosts, and can
support up to a maximum of sixteen hosts.
XenMotion is only possible among hosts that are part of a resource pool.
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 5.6 Feature Pack 1 Administrator's Guide available at
mycitrix.com.
NOTE: The XenServer Enterprise edition supports heterogeneous pools and
you can have heterogeneous servers in the same pool. For more information,
see citrix.com.
