moVirt is not using the SDKs, it is talking to API directly. But the general rule for the
clients
(moVirt but also ManageIQ) works like this:
- check the version of the API right at the beginning
- according to the found version use either the new or the old api
Right now if you use the old SDK you should be able to "talk" with both 3.6
and 4.0, because 4.0 api provides backward compatibility with 3.6. But I'm
not sure if you can rely on this. Juan may have more details for you.
