Dear All,

Not entirely sure what you're asking here, exactly which product version are you concerned about? I'm guessing that you're asking about ESX versions and I have found that ESX 3.x and 4.0 can be used at each location with the caveat that virtual machine hardware version must stay at version 4.

Hopefully that helps!

- we are planning to vSphere 4.0 Enterprise Plus at primary Site and at DR site we are planning to have standard/advance version of vSphere 4.0

I think this is an interesting question. There's clearly money to be saved by going for a lower-level SKU at the Recovery Site. Just don't expect any 8-way VMs to power on the DR location!

I guess you could use a PS script to downgrade the CPU spec with the VMs... but that's not very desirable...
