    Hello,

    I am going to setup replication from our Kansas City site to our Phoenix site using Vsphere Replication Appliance and not SRM. The question I have is, our Kansas site is on VSphere 6.0 and Phoenix site is on 5.5. Is it possible to setup replication if the two sites are on different versions? Also, since our Phoenix site is running Vcenter version 5.5, I see that the available vSphere replication versions available for download are 6.0 or 6.5. Is it ok to install either of these versions even if our Phoenix Vcenter version is 5.5?

    Thanks,

    -Lok

    You need to have the same version of vCenter and Replication at each site:

    "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."

    You will need same major version of vCenter and vSphere Replication at both sites, see: https://storagehub.vmware.com/#!/vsphere-replication/vsphere-replication-faq/introduction-and-general-information-4
