VMware ESXi hardware compatibility - Intel Crystal Forest

[VMwareReady123]

Hi,

We want to do ESXi 4.1 Certificatioin for one of our blade server/board having “Sandy Bridge processor” and “Cave Creek PCH (chipset)”. But in Vmware hardware compatibility list  doesn't show this CPU series and chip-set.

Could any one provide some information regarding whether this processor and chip-set are compatible for Vmware ESXi certification.

Regards,

I've seen some mention of success on whiteboxes, but if you're looking to certify you might want to contact the certification group
