The following table lists the compatibility matrix across 32-bit and 64-bit VMs based on AMD processor models that enable Enhanced vMotion.
Important Information • • • • • • • • • • For general information about VMware vMotion, see VMware vMotion and CPU Compatibility Information Guide at vmware.com. vMotion compatibility depends on the model and stepping of the processor involved. It does not depend on the model of the PowerEdge system or the speed of the processor. Table 3 through Table 6 illustrate vMotion compatibility with respect to processors.
