I heard that LSI MEGARAID 150-4 SATA RAID controller works in ESX. I just bought one. However, when I was installing ESX 3.01 or 3.5, the RAID controller couldn't be installed. I manually selected from the list. Didn't work. Then I downloaded the 150-4 Liunx driver from LSI website, extracted it into floppy. then back into installation and choose have disk, no lucky. Then I thought that maybe the ESX linux doesn't recognize the floppy format from windows, then I was trying to create the driver disk in unix. However, LSI driver disk became 1.7MB in Unix (solaris 10, virtual) after gzip or unzip it. It's single file, it can't fix into on floppy disk. How can I get it work?
Is there anybody who can share the experience with detail procedure that how to install SATA DAID controller in ESX? I have not try ESX 2.5 yet. Does the ESX version makes difference?
