Hello I have 3 ESX Servers in a cluster with HA & DRS working fine and with the CPU configuration below:
Server 1 & 2 (DELL PE 2950)
-
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 6
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.00GHz
stepping : 4
cpuid level : 6
Server 3 (DELL PE 2850)
-
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 15
model : 4
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz
stepping : 1
cpuid level : 5
Now I am willing to procure another DELL PE 2950 but after reviewing the CPU configuration I am not sure if these CPU's will work with my actual environment, DELL now change its models to X, E and L (something) :
The one in bold is the one I choose but not sure if it will work or even though if any of them should work with my environment,
