> Actually we have a nice mixture of manufacturers. We run 7 hosts, paired 4-2-1 in relation to architecture. All of them have the same resources, though (CPUs + RAM). In this case, I can't test the VM on different hosts because we've separated one of them
(one of the "4") on a standalone oVirt datacenter as we're making tests on it, but I remember this has already happened to me in the past (I didn't have the time to debug it at that time, though).</p>
