Hi,
I looks like he is not using CPU feature levelling/masking, and his CPU does not support it ("maskable: no"). My guess he used the force option on pool-join to get these hosts into the same pool.
I think XCP 1.5 checks whether the CPU features match on VM migrate, whereas previous versions did not do that. It would be nice though, if VM migrate would take pool-other-config:cpuid_feature_mask into account, so what Eugene tried would have worked. Currently this mask is only used for pool join.
Cheers,
Rob
