Installing esx 5.1 on Thinkserver RD220

Hi there, i've vmware ESXi 4.0 U1 installed on a Thinkserver RD220 with serveraid mr10i raid controller, all working fine.

Now i want to upgrade to vmware esxi 5.1, but i checked the HCL and seems it's not supported.

Some one had tried vmware 5.1 on this kind of server?

Greetings for response!

Hello,

I have checked and Lenovo Thinkserver RD220 is not compatible
with ESXi 5.

VMware
Compatibility Guide: System Search

You can also check it in VMware Compatibility Guide:

Here is the URL:
