Processor Error when trying to move to a diffrent Host

Unable to migrate the virtual machine Server002 because the processor is not
compatible with the host Server1.dac.local.

Any way around this?

Re: Processor Error when trying to move to a diffrent Host

You don't mention the OS or other details but please look at the "Limit
Processor Functionality" checkbox in the Hyper-V Settings for the given VM.
you could also examine the number of logical processors assigned to the VM.

Hope this helps,

Re: Processor Error when trying to move to a diffrent Host

Hi, All 3 Hyper-V servers are running Win 2k8 Ent x64.
The VM i want to move is running Win 2003 Enterprise Edtion 32Bit

The Original Hyper-V server has got 2 CPU's (1 physical)
The destination has got 8 CPU's (2 physical)

The "Limit Processor Functionality" is not checked... will it help if i stop
the VM?

RE: Processor Error when trying to move to a diffrent Host

I had the same problem. Could not migrate a VM between Virtual Server 2005R
and HyperV and got the same Processor Error message.

The solution to thie problem is as follows:

- De-install the VM-Additions from the VM
- Shutdown the VM

Now you can migrate the VM from a VS2005 server to HyperV.

Enjoy!
