<div class="WordSection1">
<p class="MsoNormal">Host is a Dell PowerEdge 2950 with an Intel Xeon 5160 (Woodcrest) processor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m stuck at the prompt, “Please specify the CPU type to be used by the VM []” during the deployment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is nothing to select. No compatible CPU type is shown.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The server is from 2008 and I’m needing to use these older servers to get started, before I can bring in the newer ones that are busy hosting VMs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The other Dell PE 2950 is from 2007 and I was able to bring up the engine on that one. It is a Conroe CPU. I won’t get into my mistake with that deployment. I’m working on recovering from that one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I wanted to post about this, because I was trying to add this one (2008) as an additional host and it wouldn’t add, due to the processor.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, one question (in addition to the problem above) is whether or not I can use two hosts with two different processors for the hosted engine?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
