vSphere Replication versions between Source and Target Vcenter

[karthikeyanj]

Hi All,

Need you valuable advice on the below requirement .

We have  a Source VCenter and esxi hosts which is running on 5.1 and Target VCenter and esxi hosts which is running 6.1 .

Can we use vsphere replication 5.8 at source DC running Venter 5.1 and vsphere replication appliance 6.0 or 6.1 running at the Target VCenter  .

Is it possible to have different version of vsphere Replication Appliance at source and target .

We need to migrate the VMs from source DC to Target DC using vsphere Replication .

Both vCenters should be at the same major version, see: https://storagehub.vmware.com/#!/vsphere-replication/vsphere-replication-faq/introduction-and-genera...

Can I use vSphere Replication to replicate a VM between vCenters running different versions of vSphere Replication (eg. VR 5.5 to 6.0)?

To replicate between vCenters, vSphere Replication requires the same major version (eg. 5.5.x > 5.5.x) of vCenter and vSphere Replication at both source and target. This is the only officially tested and supported configuration. Check the VMware Product Interoperability Matrix if you have any questions about matching vCenter and vSphere Replication versions.
