Newer ESXi hosts can run virtual machines with an older virtual hardware version but VMs with newer virtual hardware versions cannot be powered on on older versions of ESXi.
There are some important points that we should discuss when we have to keep such cluster for a while: 😉Įach version of ESXi host provides new version of virtual hardware. As they did not build a cluster based on identical physical servers and two of servers are not supported by vSphere 6.0, it was necessary to build a “mixed cluster" - based on 5.5.x and 6.0.x ESXi hosts.
Our customer needed to migrate their vSphere environment from version 5.1 ( caused of End of Support Life) to the latest version supported on their physical infrastructure. I had a discussion with my colleague about mixed version of ESXi hosts.
