Though our new oVirt setup is better in most ways, cross-CPU-type migration is one of the features I miss from Proxmox. KVM supports mixed-CPU migration for a while now, even between AMD and Intel.

I separate them into clusters, as noted, but it sure would be nice to be able to live migrate between them. :) -- Matthew Trent Network Engineer Lewis County IT Services > Hi Rene, > > Thank you very much for coming back to me. > > That's perfect then and answers my questions exactly. > > Much appreciated. > > Regards. > >Neil Wilson. > > >On Wed, Jan 27, 2016 at 1:57 PM, René Koch <rkoch at rk-it.at> wrote: >> >> Hi Neil, >> >> You can mix cpu types (but not AMD and Intel) if you leave the cluster >> level at the lowest cpu level. >> I personally don't mix cpu levels if possible, but instead create own >> clusters for each cpu type in order to be able to use the newest cpu >> features... >> >> >> Regards, >> René >> >> >> On 01/27/2016 12:53 PM, Neil wrote: >> >> Hi guys, >> >> I currently have an oVirt 3.5 cluster with Sandy Bridge Xeon CPU's, and I >> need to add a new host for more RAM and vCPU's, however the new Xeon e5 >> cpu's are Haswell based. >> >> Can I mix CPU types (Haswell and Sandy Bridge) in my cluster and will I be >> able to migrate between my hosts? >> >> I'm guessing that for this to work I'll need to leave my "CPU type" set to >> Sandy Bridge, will the Haswell based CPU be compatible with my cluster, but >> just run without any Haswell type features? >> >> Apologies if this is a dumb question or if it's been answered before. >> >> Thank you. >> >> Regards. >> >> Neil Wilson >> _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
