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.
Searched Serverfault (and Google) for this, haven't been able to find an answer... We copied a VM (folder and files) from an ESXi 5.0 server (5.0.0-623860) to an ESXi 4.0 server (4.0.0-261974).
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.
Does anybody here tried installing ESXi 5.0 on a HP MicroServer N36L? I need your expert advice if the said server can run ESXi seamlessly. I have seen some video showing they have installed esxi on that server but not sure if it's real. Thank you all in advance.
We are server with 48 GB RAM.( We have installed ESXi 4.1 )
For each VM we are allocating 4GB of memory. Since the server is having 13 VM, My manager thinks that i am doing wrong thing.
I am going to explain them that it will actually manage by itself.
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.

I have recently experienced some crashes on my ESXi server, and I cant really figure out why it is happening.
Are there any logs that are useful anywhere?
I have read somewhere on the internet that the host itself should have assigned between 256-800MB RAM, but in my case it is only assigned 77MB.
- Are there any way to increase that?
I am running ESXi5.0
We have recently bought a "white box" server to run VMware ESXi 5.0 (we're planning to use the vSphere 5 Essentials Kit). According to VMware's Compatibility Guide, the server's LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i RAID controller is compatible (support type listed as "inbox").
I've got as far as installing ESXi 5.0 on the host, and I've also installed the vCenter Server Appliance.
