Ultimate whitebox mainboard for ESX 3.5?

That board should work as I have had a GA-G33-DS2R working, I think we used a intel desktop 1000 nic with it

How to copy files from and to ESX?

Fast SCP is a great tool, it's miles faster than WinSCP. I use it all the time.

Not getting iscsi connection to work with 3.01..

I do not see the ESX server connecting to my SAN.
I can not ping 192.168.1.10 (SAN) from the ESX

console. I can however ping 192.168.1.100 (ESX) from
another host connected to the SAN network. So maybe
it's normal one can't ping from the console to this
IP?

Try vmkping - but that's not the issue here.

- One I go to "Network Adapters" it list
192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.207. It should list
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254 I assume? As subnet is
/24.

What's seen here is not usually that accurate

I checked the manual and they explain I should add
another service console connection on the "SAN" NIC?
This sounds strange to me as this NIC is not
connected to my normal network. Should I add a
service console? And which IP should I use?

You'll need to add a service console port on that subnet (with a 192.168.1.x IP). The SC handles the initial connection to the iSCSI server and once the connection is made then the traffic is sent via the vmkernel.

Clone or copy using VMWare Server Console?

I would certainly be interested in seeing a windows script for cloning. I have a win2k3 server running VMware Server. I have created a Win2k3 VM on the hardware and want to use it as a base image. Unfortunately, I am not quite sure how to migrate that image over and use it for a new VM. I am currently reading up on the sysprep tool but this is where your script and experience would be invaluable!

I will keep checking back on this thread.

Thanks
