revo drive with esxi 4

linux-howto

http://serverfault.com – Has anyone been able to get the revo drive to work with esxi. I have found that R4 is supposed to be supported, but I have not found the drivers/procedure to implement. I run some non virtual sql server data warehouses with the revo 3 x2 and the performance improvement is amazing. I am hoping to enable some of that performance with our dev environment which is on esxi without having to put it on a SAN/network drive that connects to esxi. (HowTos)

Cannot write to ESXi Datastore 43 weeks 3 days ago

I am having a problem with on of our ESXi servers and hoping someone can help us resolve it. I just installed ESXi on a server with 2 2TB drives that are in a RAID 1 configuration using an Adaptec 2405 RAID Controller.

Upgrade/Migrate VMware ESX / ESXi 4.* To ESXi 5.0

VMware has recently released its new VM hypervisor product, VMware ESXi 5.0. VMware is replacing its current ESX model with ESXi and the biggest change (between ESX and ESXi) is the architecture, as most of you VM gurus are well aware of, but for the people that don't know I will quickly explain.

hi

I have found a note about compatibility of HP ML150g6 and hp esxi 5: "(1) Not supported by the HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 5.0 version 1.0" But HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 5.0 version 1.1 exists: HP ESXi Offline Bundle

Is it (version 1.1) compatible with HP ML150G6 or not? How to find the information?

Thank you in advance. :)

I'm debating on doing an ESXi 4.1/5.0 installation on a USB stick or a pair of 32GB SATA II SSDs (RAID1 mirror). According to VMWare's documentation, when ESXi is booting it looks for a 4GB space for a scratch partition. Assuming the USB stick I use has adequate storage (say 16GB), is there any advantage to installing ESXi on an SSD or better yet, and SSD RAID1 mirror?

enable ESXi SDK WebService 38 weeks 17 hours ago

On a freshly installed VMWare ESXi 4.1 I can't access https://my_server/sdk/webService, it gives me HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found.

I failed to find any docs about whether I needed to do any specific tasks to enable ESXi WebService API.

Could someone please direct me in the right direction?

Thanks

I am trying to setup ESXi in a server and I am a bit lost.

SSD's are not considered to be "affordable" by many, and that's especially true when talking about PCI Express versions. But, that's soon to change, with the launch of OCZ's Revo - a drive that barely charges a premium over current high-end SSD's. While we iron out the details for our full review, we offer you this quick performance preview.

Say I have an ESXi (5.0) host that runs a Linux distribution which hosts iSCSI targets, which contain the images for other VMs which the host will run. When it's used, I'll start the host first, then the iSCSI server, and then refresh all storage targets/HBAs in order to see the provided shares as online. I know it's a strange puzzle-box solution, but I was told to implement it.
