VxRail nodes have been purchased to add additional capacity The new nodes are based on AMD Chipset, the current cluster is based on Intel Chipset What should be the next step?
The correct answer is B. Enable VMware EVC Mode and then add the new nodes. 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.

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. 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.
