Issue/Introduction
Symptoms:
HCX vMotion may fail with error "vMotion failed. No target host could be choosen after vMotion compatibility checks. The target host does not support the virtual machine's current hardware requirements."
Cause
This could be a result of incorrect EVC configuration.
Resolution
In the On-Prem vCenter, enable EVC at the VM level to Broadwell, then try to perform vMotion again.
EVC for VM is available from vCenter 6.7 onwards, for vCenter 6.5 and before, the user will need to enable EVC at cluster level.
