Xen users - Apr 2011 - XCP question about similar hardware

Hi all,
I am planning to improve virtualization in my company. So I have
already a pool named p.e. Pool1. I have 5 servers Dell PowerEdge 1950
in it.
Now I have 4 servers Dell PowerEdge 2850 too.
Can I add 2850 to Pool1?
I can''t find anything about compatibility for different hadrware in new
release.

Best regards, Den.

for XCP to accept new machine in a pool, you must have identical cpu 
flags (cat /proc/cpuinfo) or have recent hardware with CPU flag masking 
capability (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX127059). I guess your 
1950''s and 2850''s unfortunatly don''t have that. You
might check if the
feature set is the same.

Cheers,

Denis
