Deploy new VM with HW version 7 on vSphere 5

Hi,

Is there a setting / method to deplpy new VMs with hardware version 7 (and NOT HW version :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: on a vSphere 5 host ?

We currently have a mixed cluster (vSphere 4.0 U2 & 5.0 U1 Hosts) with automatic DRS enabled.

NB.  I've found that vCloud Director 1.5 has a VM HW version setting (v7 or v8) which is useful for mixed clusters. I'm hoping that vSphere itself may have a similar setting.

Yes, that's certainly possible. Just select "Custom" in the "New VM" wizard and you will be able to decide which HW version (7 or :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: you want to use for this VM.
