vSphere 

Note:
  • Citrix performs compatibility tests only with the major updates of VMware vSphere, like Update 1, 2 and so on. The minor updates like 1a, 1b, 2a and so on are not tested, however, they are expected to work fine.
  • Testing of updates for the earlier version of VMware vSphere might be limited, as priority is given to the updates of the current version. When using earlier releases of these products, Citrix recommends validating product updates for proper functionality and interoperability in a test environment first before updating production environments.
