Laut dieser Liste sind die beiden CPUs nicht untereinander vmotion kompatibel:

Wenn ich aber im KB 1991 lese (
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/micros ... nalId=1991 ) interpretiere ich folgendes:
5100 = Group B
5400 = Group C
For B<->C VMotion,
apply SSE4.1 mask. (Not supported prior to ESX 3.5.
Experimentally supported for ESX 3.5 and later only.)
Applying the Masks
For information about how to apply masks referenced in the tables, see KB 1993 under the section titled "Modifying the Default Mask".
Warning: For production environments, VMware neither supports nor recommends modifying CPU masks for SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, or SSE4.2, because of the risk of failure in applications or the guest operating system after migration. Experimental support is available for some masks in ESX 3.5 and later as noted. For more information on experimental feature support, see
http://www.vmware.com/support/policies/ ... ental.html.
Weil VMware das aber nicht supported, würde ich es nicht machen
