Re: Enabling EVC mode for production cluster

Therefore, I would like to seek confimation that enabling EVC and setting it to Nahelem level for Cluster_A will not cause an impact (e.g. BSOD) or downtime to the VMs.

Hi

Is 100% safe operation (did it many, many times on running clusters). No side effects :-)

1. create TEST VM
2. add new ESX server into vCenter
3. put it into maintenace mode
4. add to cluster
5. enable ECV
6. exit ESX from maintenance
7. try to make vMotion between old and new node in a cluster
8. if vMotion will not work, as Andre says, you have to power VM down and start it.
