Please help me install VMWare ESXi on my server, some VMFS3 failur issue
Hi guys,
I have got a small server for development/testing purpose. I want to run 2-3 x86 guest on it. So I asked my host to install VMWare ESXi on it. But somehow they are unable to install it. I am writing hardware and issue details which they provided me. If you people have encountered similar issue and have any idea about the same, PLEASE HELP ME
Hardware:
Intel D510MO (http://www.intel.com/products/deskto...O-overview.htm)
500 GB SATA
4 GB RAM
Issue:
VMFS3 failure on every boot no matter what. Tried disabling the NIC but still same.
(I had read on one forum that some NIC are not compitable so I had asked them to try disabling it)
Thanks...

If you just have a couple of VMs for dev/test, it might be better to install VMware Server on CentOS. We are using it in production boxes without any problems.

"Hardware and firmware requirement for 64-bit OSes - 5/24/10:

"Intel CPUs require EM64T and VT support in the chip and in the BIOS.""
"So in that case the D510 is a no-go because it doesn't have VT-x. "
