Andrija,
This is true for KVM hypevisor where you can choose how "similar" hosts
may be. In a case of In Huishan and XenServer different hosts may even refuse
to join server pool. I didn't try personally, but expect problems especially if
processor types are so different (like you mentioned - Xeon vs AMD).

Hello In Huishan,
yes, should be same or similar - if you have Xeon E5-2620, and on the other you
have Xeon E5-2650 - there is no much difference if at all, so these might fit
into 1 cluster. You need to be aware that the liver migration functionality is
cluster wide - so VM can be migrated between hosts only inside 1 cluster.
Thah being said - it also depends what model of CPU do you expose to your
guest...
If you try to migrate an instance within the cluster, from one host with Intel
to other host with AMD - it will probably fail - so you put your Intel hosts in
1 cluster, and AMD hosts in other, just as example.
Check the
http://cloudstack-installation.readthedocs.org/en/latest/hypervisor/kvm.html#install-and-configure-the-agent
for CPU model, as this also might be usefull for you to understand cluster
placement..
btw, I have somewhat newer Xeon E5-2620 hosts and older E5xxx hosts in the same
cluster, but I do not expose CPU model specific flags to VMs (just expose
"qemu" CPU inside VM), so the live migration still works...
