Query: OneView for vCenter SPP Version

[MCSAP]

Hi,

I've setup the OneView for VMware 10.4 plugin to my vCenter 7.  I've also uploaded the latest SPP isos to my OneView.  Seems to be one for Gen 9 and a separate one for Gen 10.  The issue I'm seeing is that the only available SPP selection from inside the vCenter LifeCycle settings is the Gen10 SPP.  

Is this a limited feature only available to Gen10 servers and SPP?  Why can't I select the Gen9 SPP from the plugin?

See screenshot attached.

The VLCM feature is only supported with Gen10 servers, and not with Gen9 or older.

Also, make sure to check the custom image and SPP mapping documents for supported combinations (HPE Recommended vLCM Desired Image Definitions) to see which combinations of images, add-ons, and SPP/SSP are supported together.
