Configuring VMware vSphere vCenter Server
11 Dell EMC Best Practices for Running VMware ESXi 6.5 or Later Clusters on XC Series Appliances and XC Core
Systems | A03
2.4 Enabling VMware EVC settings
Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) simplifies vMotion compatibility issues across CPU generations. Dell
EMC recommends enabling EVC so that you can add nodes with newer generation CPUs to existing clusters.
To enable EVC in the cluster, perform the following steps:
1. Log in to vCenter Server.
2. Right-click the cluster and click Settings.
3. Click VMware EVC > EDIT.
4. Select the appropriate EVC mode based on the CPUs in the existing cluster. Define the rule to set the
level to the lowest CPU type in the cluster.
