Good afternoon,

Does Azure Site Recovery support EXSI 9? I only saw online that it supports up to 8.0. If not, is there a plan to get 9 supported?

Unfortunately not yet. Refer to https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5829927/azure-migrate-vsphere-9-support

Right now Azure Migrate officially supports vSphere up through vCenter/ESXi 8.x (and the updates in that branch), plus earlier 7.0/6.7/6.5 releases. vSphere 9 isn’t yet on the published support matrix, and we don’t have a public ETA for when 9.0 will be added. Typically, once we’ve validated support for a new vSphere version, we update the “Support matrix for VMware vSphere migration” article and call it out in the Azure Migrate release notes.

In the meantime, you can:

• Keep an eye on the support matrix for any updates:

https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/migrate/migrate-support-matrix-vmware-migration

• Check the Azure Migrate release notes (linked from the portal) for new version support announcements.

• If the customer wants to test today, spin up the latest Azure Migrate appliance bits against vSphere 9 and raise a support request if you hit a version-related block.
