Cause

The source VM with virtual hardware version 8 resides on an ESXi 5 host and is replicated to an ESX(i) host of an earlier version, which is not supported.

Solution

Replicate virtual machines with hardware version 8 to ESXi 5 hosts only.

More Information

Replication from earlier versions of ESX to ESXi 5 is supported.
