Hello Guys,
i have an Intel s5000 ROMB MB here and like to install the new 3.5 ESX on it (Server is self manufectured). to install it is not the problem, but i have configured an raid1 with to WD disks
and the Installer from the ESX sees the disk as independent and not as an raid!?! To get the server installed on one of them then is working but without raid securty pointless.
I picked exactly that MB coz its under the supported list of mb by vmware.
Aswell i thought that ESX 3.5 can directly boot from ISCSI Server? Is that true that this not working?
Installed an ISCSI Option ROM on an Intel NIC to connect my ISCSI but in the installation of the ESX i have no disks, someone any idea to this?
so what im doing wrong???
Took me a wilhe to figure out that the add in ROMB is not a raid controller, is that trouly right?
Is it only for connecting external SAS Arrays?
