vMotion Migration Question (CPU)

[BoomAM]

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if i'll have problems vMotioning/moving VMs between hosts if one set of hosts is Core based and one is Nehalem based?

Dont need tons of educating on how vMotion works and all that
Just want to know if the architectures are compatible.

Thanks in advance.

Thought so.
As im a little rusty, the EVC mode thats set, its set on the host/cluter level and not at VMs? So our 'old' VMs that were made on the 'Core' hosts would be able to goto the Nahelem hosts fine and visa-versa, as long as EVC mode was switched on?

What about if host's wernt clustered?

If they're not clustered then you can't vMotion - you can do a cold migration though.

EVC is set at the cluster level.

I know if its not clustered i cant vMotion.
I meant as manual migrations. With EVC being a cluster level thing, can i manually move VMs between new and old hosts without issues?
