Answers
C.
Create an additional Cluster with the new nodes
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

When adding VxRail nodes based on a different chipset (e.g., AMD vs. Intel) to an existing cluster, it is necessary to enable VMware Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode. EVC ensures CPU compatibility for vMotion by masking certain CPU features, making it possible to add nodes with different processors to the same cluster without causing compatibility issues.

Steps:

Enable VMware EVC mode on the existing cluster.

Ensure all cluster nodes meet the EVC requirements.

Add the new AMD-based nodes to the existing cluster.
