Hi,
I want to ask if anyone has tried to play FT between those 2 CPUs.
I run the laster version of Site Survey 2.52 and confirmed that the Dell PowerEdge T100 server host is ready for FT with all green check marks.
I am thinking to buy a PE T110 which comes with Xeon X3430 for my home lab to play FT.
Or if I can't play FT between T100 and T110 with these 2 different CPUs/Categaries, would it work well to install ESXi as embedded hosts to do FT?
Thank you for any advice in advance. :smileyhappy:

To add some notes, I have noticed the following from KB 1008027, but I am still hoping FT may work between the CPUs.
For VMware FT to be supported, the servers that host the virtual machines must each use a supported processor from the same category as documented below:
Intel Xeon based on 45nm Core 2 Microarchitecture Category:
- 31xx Series
- 33xx Series
- 52xx Series (DP)
- 54xx Series
- 74xx Series
Intel Xeon based on Core i7 Microarchitecture Categories:
- Nehalem Series Group (any processor series here can be used):
- 34xx Series (Lynnfield)*
- 35xx Series
- 55xx Series
- 65xx Series**
- 75xx Series***
- Westmere Series Groups (each processor series must be used separately):
- 34xx Series (Clarkdale)**
- i3/i5 (Clarkdale)**
- 36xx Series**
- 56xx Series**
AMD 3rd Generation Opteron Category:
- 13xx and 14xx Series
- 23xx and 24xx Series (DP)
- 41xx Series*
- 61xx Series*
- 83xx and 84xx Series (MP)
