Hi
I have a server 2012 host running an Opteron processor, it's hosting about 4 guests at the min, 3 Server 2012 and a Linux. All fine, I'm using Windows backup to backup the guest VMs.
Today I restored one of the guest VMs to a small HP ML server 2012 with an Intel i3 proc I have. The process was
- Restore a copy of the VM to a file location.
- Copy the restored VM files to the HP server
- Import the VM as a copy of a VM
The VM copied over and started up fine. No errors on boot up and logged in without any hassle. My understanding was you couldn't run an Intel based VM on an AMD host or vice versa? Can anyone shed any light on whether this is correct or is the process I went through somehow removing this restriction e.g. the restoring as a copy is resetting the base hardware to that of the new host?
Thanks for any info
