PS6100 on ESX 5.5
I currently have an Enterprise license installed on my ESX 5.5 host along with the Equallogic multi-pathing extension. I've migrated the VMs off this host and will only be using this host and Equallogic datastore to replicate to for DR purposes. I'd like to downgrade the license on the host from Enterprise to Standard but this does not support 3rd party multi-pathing extensions. What are the implications of doing the downgrade on a running system? Will it just disable the Equallogic extension?

Technicly, nothing will happens. The dell_eql_routed PSP will be there and active. The legal standpoint maybe different ;)

I have customers with Essentials Plus 5.5 together with EQL and all have MEM installed. IIRC there is also one with ESXi 6.0 Standard.
Note: PernixData install also a 3rd.Party "MPIO" PSP and they claimed that their FVP is supportet and runs on all licensed vSphere Hosts. We have a discussion about 3rd. Party modules because they hide this in the training but i cant remember how it ends.
