Hi,

Can we add and manage the esxi 8 with vcenter 7? currently we are using esxi 7 with vcenter 7.

As per interoperability matrix, you cannot manage ESXi 8.x on lower vCenter version i.e 7.x

You can try it in lab and see, in the past when I tried to add higher version of ESXi in a lower version VC, it didnt allow me to add the node. However, I haven't tried on versions 7.x and 8.x
