Hi Sébastien, It's not possible to join XCP hosts of different versions into a pool - the only time XCP hosts of different versions should be in a pool together is during a rolling pool upgrade. As for the reason you're seeing PLATFORM_VERSION = Unknown ... PLATFORM_VERSION isn't actually defined in XCP 1.1 - it's a new field, added in XCP 1.5 I believe. The intention is that PLATFORM_VERSION is shared between the equivalent versions of XCP and XenServer (and is used for checks during pool join, rolling pool upgrade etc.). Older versions of XCP will have PRODUCT_VERSION defined (e.g XCP 1.1 has PRODUCT_VERSION = 1.1) but from XCP 1.6 onwards PRODUCT_VERSION is not defined - it's now treated as a "cosmetic" field which is only defined in commercial XenServer. This is all part of Project Swizzle which has been mentioned on this list now and then - the intention being that our build system will produce XCP and XenServer ISOs simultaneously, rather than the current situation where XenServer needs quite a bit of hacking before it can be turned into XCP.
