Hi
Just installed Server 2008 R2 SP1 in one of our VM guest and I keep seeing these log entries:
Message from myserver.local: CPU microcode
update available. The guest OS tried to update
the microcode from patch level 3 (3h) to patch
level 4 (4h), but VMware ESX does not allow
microcode patches to be applied from within a
virtual machine. Microcode patches are used to
correct CPU errata. If you are not experiencing
any problems with your CPU, you can ignore this
microcode patch. Otherwise, you may be able to
obtain a BIOS/firmware update which includes
this microcode patch from your system vendor, or
your host OS may provide a facility for loading
microcode patches obtained directly from the
Intel web site.
Is the service pack actually doing this ?
Should I bother obtaining this microcode update ?
Thanks for your help
