Vsphere 5.1 Simple instructions for configuring EVC

Due to the new purchase of a server, because the CPU model is newer, so VMware prompts for CPU compatibility issues, unable to implement the hot migration, need to configure EVC to implement. With the relevant VMware documentation, it is easy to configure EVC, while the configuration of eVC does not affect the running virtual machine system when the virtual machine is powered on, and can be safely configured online. But one thing to note:

The virtual machines that were originally running on the new ESXi host (using a host with the new CPU instructions) can only work after the shutdown and power on EVC to be compatible with the old host.
