Thanks for your quick reply.

I have seen that, since 4.1 is having big size as compared and I want to use ESXi5.0 which is having 100mb size.

[dhabbetichandra]

4.1 has two editions ESX and ESXi, you should select ESXi in this case.

We've run 4.1 and 5.0 on the X4150 without surprises.  --darrel
