Scenario 10

Scenario:

You are making modifications to your vSphere implementation. Your DRS cluster contains identical server hardware. You need to add a new host to the cluster that is not identical to the other hosts. The CPUs in the new host are from the same manufacturer and family as other hosts in the cluster but have a slightly improved feature set. You need to prepare the cluster to support the new ESXi host.

Requirements:

Do not disrupt the VMs that are currently running in the cluster.
Enable and configure EVC on the cluster.
Do not actually add any ESXi hosts.

Environment Information:

Current host CPUs: Intel “Sandy Bridge” generation CPUs.
New host CPU: Intel “Ivy Bridge” generation CPUs.

Objective: 3.3 Implement and Maintain Complex DRS Solutions
