Resolution for Incompatibility Issue with Selected VMs/Host in BDRSuite

KB ID: 115099
Issue:
The error message "Selected VMs/Host 'YYY' are incompatible with the selected target server" typically occurs when attempting to replicate VMs to a target ESXi host with lower hardware configuration or a lower version than the source ESXi host.
Cause:
This error is triggered when there is a mismatch in hardware configuration or version between the source ESXi host and the target ESXi host during VM replication.
Solution:
To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
1. Confirm that the version of the target ESXi host is the same as or higher than that of the source ESXi host for successful replication.
2. For example, if you have an ESXi Server v5.5 and intend to replicate a VM from this host to a target ESXi host, ensure that the target ESXi host is ESXi v5.5 or a higher version.
By aligning the versions between the source and target ESXi hosts, you can ensure a compatible environment for successful VM replication.
