At last week VMUG in the North-West England (Manchester) I was asked by the group what would happen if a vMotion was attempted “apples to oranges” say from AMD to Intel. Of course, this wouldn’t be allowed. Anyway, I was curious to see what the Web-Client would report. It so happens I have a combination of AMD and Intel in my colo lab. It came about from buying different hardware at different generations (isn’t that always the way). So I have combination of DL385 (AMD) and Intel based Lenovo T200. This is the dialog box generated during an attempt at vMotion…
