VMware VMotion
without
Enhanced
VMotion
Compatibility
(EVC) enabled
fails on AMD
Opteron 61xx and
41xx series
processors.
When EVC is not
enabled, vMotion fails if
you attempt to migrate
a virtual machine
between older 3rd
generation Opteron
13xx, 23xx, 83xx, 14xx,
24xx, 84xx series
processors and the
newer 3rd generation
Opteron 61xx and 41xx
series processors. The
Migrate Virtual
Machine wizard
displays the following
error message:
Host
CPU is
incompatible
with the
virtual
machine's
requirements at
CPUID level...
and the virtual machine
remains on the host of
origin.
