For those of you who use VMware ESX and Compaq/HP Proliant servers, I came across a helpful entry on Vincent Vlieghe's blog. As I wanted to integrate this into the VMware Communities, I've created a document for it, crediting Vincent Vlieghe.

This basically has to do with how to optimize the server's BIOS configuration for running VMware ESX Server. Most options in the BIOS may be easily interpreted and safe irregardless of the configuration, however, two configuration parameters stand out as important.

Thank you Vincent Vlieghe for doing the homework on this.
