vCenter does not support hosts of this type (VMware ESXi 6.0.0).

[titchdave]

I am trying to add a VMware ESXi 6.0.0 host to vCentre 7.0.3.00300.

I cannot add it as it "does not support hosts of this type" however i believed with a full licence on all machines this should work...

Hi,

No, you cannot,

An excerpt from the official documentation: "vCenter Server 7.0 can manage ESXi version 6.5 hosts in the same cluster with ESXi 7.0 hosts. vCenter Server 7.0 cannot manage ESXi 6.0 or earlier hosts.

Reference: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.upgrade.doc/GUID-49E8A38B-A356-4665...

Regards,
Ferdinando

This tool confirms that vCenter 7.0.3 only supports ESXi from 6.5.0 onwards, and that vCenter 6.7.0 is the latest version which supports ESXi 6.0.0

ESXi 6.0 has reached even the end of Technical Guidance as of yesterday. - https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/66977

If this is a production system check if the hardware is supporting newer ESXi version and if there are no other constraints upgrade ASAP
