Can anybody help me regarding the downgradation of vsphere 6.0 enterprise to Standard . Will SRM features will be available after downgrade.

What the major functionality will be disable if I downgrade the vsphere 6.0 enterprise licence to 6.0 standard

SRM should have its own Site Recovery Manager license key.

Based of this matrix here for SRM 8.1 :

Downgrading from vSphere Enterprise to Standard should work (but not for advanced).

The only things that you need to check is the inter-ops matrix between your SRM version and your Esxi 6.x version.

And also, if check if this is the same for your SRM version if you are lower than 8.1

You would lose all sorts of features, if you were using them in the first place, including vDS, DRS, SDRS, SIOC, NIOC, SR-IOV
