VMware vSphere 6.5 GA has the following limitations for the Intel Xeon E3-1200-v6 Processor:
- No support for the Enhanced vMotion (EVC). However, vMotion works fine with Intel Xeon E3-1200-v6 Processor.
- No support for running the virtual machines with Binary Translation.
Note: This is a requirement only for old Guest Operating Systems require this.
- The Virtual Performance Monitoring Counters (VPMC) feature is not supported.
These limitations are fixed in ESXi 6.5, Patch ESXi650-201703001, available at VMware Patch Downloads. For more information on downloading patches, see How to download patches in Customer Connect (1021623).
