虚拟机处理器兼容模式简介 - MICROSOFT 自己收集整理的 错误在所难免 仅供参考交流 如有错误 请指正！谢谢 Virtual Machine processor compatibility mode Author: Rajesh Dave As Virtualization penetration continues to broaden, customers are expecting to deploy and run virtual machines across a diverse set of servers running different virtualization capable processors. When a running virtual machine is moved to a server running different processor, the virtualization platform needs to provide necessary support to ensure applications running inside virtual machines continue to run on the destination processor. Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V introduces a capability called processor compatibility mode to allow moving a running virtual machine across Hyper-V supported processors. This document provides details on processor compatibility mode. Customer scenarios 1. I have a virtual machine running on a host A and would like to be able to move it to another host B in my data center for effective load balancing on the physical servers. 2. I have built a cluster of hosts running identical processors. One of host fails due to hardware failure, so I buy another server and add to the cluster. The newly added server is most likely has newly added processor features than other hosts in the cluster. I would like to be able to move running virtual machines freely from any node of the cluster. 3. I have a virtual machine running on host A, I save the VM with active memory state and would like to restore the same at a later date on any Hyper-V enabled host which may not be the same host. Problem description Most of the well-behaved applications written use the recommended method of querying processor features available through calling the CPUID instruction. In the virtualization environment, when a VM is moved to another server the software applications running inside VM are completely unaware of the change. An application may try to execute CPU features that it discovered when it was started on source host but they may no
