7. vSphere 5.1
Enhanced vMotion without shared storage*
• Transported over network using vMotion vmkernel
• Hosts must be managed by same vCenter Server
• Hosts must be part of same Datacenter
• Hosts must be on the same layer-2 network (and same switch if VDS is used)
• Hosts must have the same CPU or have the same EVC baseline (like for the vMotion
across clusters)
• Enhanced vMotion is a manual process
• DRS and SDRS do not leverage enhanced vMotion
