Looking to enable EVC without haaving to shut down all hosts or vm's.
I have an existing cluster with some older hosts. I added a new host to the cluster, and tried to vMotion a vm - fails with the EVC error (CPUID or some such, the error itself is not the issue).
I've read posts about enabling EVC, but they all require no running VM's to modify EVC.
I tried to create a new cluster and disconnect/remove one host from the old and connect it to the new cluster. If there are any running vm's when I disconnect/reconnect, it gives an EVC error and does not add the host to the new cluster.
Alternatively, can I vmotion on an HA cluster between different host types (I thought that was the whole point of HA/vMotion...the VM's are abstracted from the underlying physical hardware)...
Thanks!
