Difference between ESX 4.0 and ESX 4i

[ranjeetpp]

Hi,

Apart from 4i being console less, is there any major difference between two ESX 4.0 and ESX 4i ?

Also is there a difference in the way Guest -Host communication in ESX 4.0 and ESX 4i

Any pointer to white papers or documents which explains the difference would also help.

Please help.

Thanks & Regards

Ranjit

Yes, they are absolutely compatible. ESX and ESXi can run in the same cluster, VM can be VMotioned between them etc.
