The following procedure will help you configure EVC on an ESXi cluster:
- Connect to vCenter Server with the appropriate privileges.
- Ensure that there are no powered-on virtual machines (power-off or migrate VMs accordingly).
- From the vCenter's inventory home, navigate to the Hosts and Clusters view.
- Click on the Configure tab, select VMware EVC, and click on Edit..., as shown in the following screenshot:
- In the Change EVC Mode window, select an EVC mode. Change from the default Disable EVC to either of the following two options:
- Enable EVC for AMD Hosts
- Enable EVC for Intel® Hosts
- Based on the compatibility applicable to the CPU, select the appropriate mode.
- Click on OK once the validation succeeds.
- Power off the migrated VMs and move them back to the EVC cluster and power them back ON.
