Hi !
I thought I could connect an ESXi 6.5 to a 6.0 Vcenter, was I wrong ? I thought between major version it was possible ?
Each time I try I got an error in vsphere client :
"timeout waiting for vpxa to start"
and on the host in vpxa.log I got :
2016-11-24T15:49:06.036Z error vpxa[AD6DB70] [Originator@6876 sub=SoapAdapter] Unsupported version URIurn:vpxa3/6.0"
To be able to manage vSphere ESXi 6.5 you will need your vCenter at version 6.5, see the interoperability matrix: VMware Product Interoperability Matrixes

vCenter 6.0 U2 can not manage ESXi 6.5. However vCenter 6.5 can manage ESXI 6.0 U2. Same logic applies to ESXi/VC releases.
Also if VC is 6.0 GA and ESXI 6.0 U2, this works.
Guess I'll have to upgade my VCSA before upgrading my others ESX xD
I usually update my VC before the ESX, but I received a new ESX so I wanted to gain time and install it in 6.5 instead of 6.0, my bad.
Thanks for the answers guys !

Hi ,
In VMware environment , you can add / manage only host with lower version / same version of vCenter Server .
Thank you very much for the contribution.
