Is it possible to run ESXi on this server?

Using a Turon-based CPU and expecting any good performance from a VM under ESXi is asking for trouble. Think of this as a NAS device, not a general purpose server. I wouldn't try **any** virtualization more than "containers" or "BSD-Jails."By this point you might have purchased and installed ESXi. How did it go?

I dont think thats a good idea. Processor isnt that much. But i read some forums that they got it working with esxi. Running 2 instances of linux.

You should have no issues running ESXi on this. You would have to by an actual dedicated RAID card though as the on board is a fake RAID and probably isn't supported by ESXi.

Yes you can, just run the alienware command center a customized as you like.

Hi, I put it in a GA-990FXA-UD5 with esxi 5.5 and run to the first , how you define not working? , Not detected! ,Not have ping?

No it takes a proprietary PS. and it supports dual redundancy. Also the motherboard does not support standard connections it would require an adapter from 24 to 14 Pin before you could use it. This is a server not a PC and the ThinkServer 450W Hot Swap Redundant Power Supply is what you need.

You should be able to however I would think external drives or sever would be a lot more efficient.

I've run Hyper-V on this box, but I would not recommend. Limited RAM & CPU for much more than small biz server. But for a desktop for personal VMs, it's a good solid box. I upgraded the ram and added HD. You'll want to have your OS of choice on a bootable USB drive as there is no DVD drive in the base config.

If you're ysing ESXi 5.1 you will need to install the drivers for this card to work properly. You should be able to find them online and install locally via USB. Hope this helps!

Nope. Unfortunately it only comes with Snow Leopard and doesn't support anything later than it. I'm sure hackers will find a way of making it run, though.

Yes, you must install an OS (Windows or other) before you can run applications. VMWare just sets up the hardware emulation, it does not include operating systems.

I'm running these for iscsi each port at 9000mtu FreeNas to esxi iscsi for vmdk files :)

yes you can connect to the hotel service to create your own server. However, I had a lot of trouble with my unit, having to reset over and over. Returned when I found out how bad customer support was at NETGEAR and they wanted me to pay for shipping their out-of-box defective product back for a swap.

I don't think so. It needs the Drobo desktop software installed on the computer you're using, i don't think that will work on a server.

ESXi/vSphere compatible SAS-capable HBA, supported by Windows Server 2012 and 2008R2 and it runs in 2 modes, IT (straight through No Raid) and IR (Raid 0,1,1E,10)I've used it for ZFS under FreeNAS and Nas4Free, next project it will be used for Windows Storage Spaces under server2012R2 Don't forget to order the right kind of cables between the cards SFF connectors and your drives.

Thus Is an enterprise class server solution not a gaming rig. Xeon processors are not geared towards supporting games. Buy an i5 or i7 based system.

Sure, I don't see why not. For all intents and purposes it's just two more network ports. I'm using mine in an ESXI box.

I do. I've got two that I run VMware ESXi on to deploy virtual machines for both testing and production. It's a solid little box to run a hypervisor and you can cram 16gb of RAM in there, so there's plenty of room to play with. If you want to do purely development, you could easily run something like Docker and Vagrant to deploy small VMs for isolated development environments. Seriously, it's just a computer. This one just happens to be absurdly tiny and cute, but it's capable of lifting some serious weight when you need it to.

Yes, All administration options are configurable remotely. Some additional setup is required to do so though.
