SnapCenter 6.x Upgrade Issue

I'm about to upgrade our SnapCenter infrastructure from 5.0P2 to 6.1P1, with the exception of five SQL Servers running Windows Server 2008R2 and 2012R2 [and yes we are pushing them to migrate to new servers]. Those Windows versions can't run SC 6.x [or for that matter some of the new prerequisites like the new PowerShell version requirement].

 

The problem: I just discovered that the IMT indicates that both 6.0.1 and 6.1 running on the SC server is not compatible with 5.x Windows or SQL plug-ins. I could upgrade only to 6.0 I suppose, which can run the Windows 5.x plug-in and possibly the SQL one [I say possibly because the online documentation and IMT for the plug-in say the SQL 5.x plug-in is compatible, but the IMT for the server says it is not].

 

Any suggestions? Is 6.0 sufficiently stable without going to 6.0.1 or 6.1? Is 6.0 in fact compatible with the SQL 5.x plug-in?
