@subsubsection Supported CPU models for MIPS32 hosts



The following CPU models are supported for use on MIPS32 hosts. Administrators /

applications are recommended to use the CPU model that matches the generation

of the host CPUs in use. In a deployment with a mixture of host CPU models

between machines, if live migration compatibility is required, use the newest

CPU model that is compatible across all desired hosts.
