Purpose

This article is an index of compatibility messages that may be generated during virtual machine migration attempts. The article helps you troubleshoot compatibility and configuration messages that prevent migration in your ESX Server environment.

Resolution

Overview

Migration compatibility checks are done on each migration that is performed through VirtualCenter. The checks aim to eliminate common misconfiguration in your environment, but can sometimes be cryptic to understand. The most common errors are listed below by category of error message. Click on the link associated with error message to get more information on the error.

CPU compatibility messages

Unable to migrate from <source server> to <destination server>: The CPU of the host is incompatible with the CPU feature requirements of the virtual machine; problem detected at CPUID level 0x80000001 register 'edx' . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting VMotion CPU feature requirement error messages (1003718) .

Unable to migrate from <source server> to <destination server>: The CPU of the host is incompatible with the CPU feature requirements of the virtual machine; problem detected at CPUID level 0x80000001 register 'ecx' . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting VMotion CPU feature requirement error messages (1003718) .

Unable to migrate from <source server> to <destination server>: The CPU of the host is incompatible with the CPU feature requirements of the virtual machine; problem detected at CPUID level 0x1 register 'ecx' . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting VMotion CPU feature requirement error messages (1003718) .

Unable to migrate from <source server> to <destination server>: The CPU of the host is incompatible with the CPU feature requirements of the virtual machine; problem detected at CPUID level 0x1 register 'edx' . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting VMotion CPU feature requirement error messages (1003718) .

Unable to migrate from <source server> to <destination server>: Virtual Machine has 2 virtual CPUs, but the host software only supports 1 . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting migration compatibility error: Virtual machine has 2 virtual CPUs but the host software only supports 1 (1003741) .

Migration from <source server> to <destination server>: Migration will cause the virtual machine's configuration to be modified, to preserve the feature requirements for its guest OS . For more information on this error, see Troubleshooting migration compatibility warning: Migration will cause the virtual machine's configuration to be modified, to preserve the feature requirements for its guest OS (1003770) .

Device configuration messages
