  • 1.  VMWare ESXI on HP Proliant server

    Good Morning all,

    I have recently been tasked to get a lab esxi setup running.

    I have a HP Proliant DL180 G6 server to my disposal.  I have registered on the vmware site and gotten the free license for ver 7.

    The issue that I have is that none of the normal downloads (ver 7 and 6.7) are compatible with my hardware.  I have also tried to install ver 4 to no avail.

    I have now installed the HP images (ver 6) successfully but it did not offer me a free license?  and I am not sure if the normal ver 6 free license key will work with the ver 6 HP custom ESXI.

    Thanks
    Kobus

    yes - the fre license also works with the customized iso. the customized iso only has additional vendor-specific drivers and tools.

    but your dl 180 g6 is not on the hcl, that means never tested for any esxi-version. so use at your own risk if it works or not
