thanks for the quick response,

I not found that server in the list and I think that is not supported

because the Smart Array SATA RAID B110i should not be compatible

you are correct.  It is not on the HCL for ESX(i) at any level.

DL 120 G6 Use B110 Raid Card.

problem1:B110 support Only Software RAID.

problem2:if you install vmware 4.1 without RAID(AHCI)after restart your vmware not boot!

solution:install one HDD On Sata6 Port for instaling vmware and use AHCI mode(no raid).

if you want RAID you shoud buy Raid card p410 or p212 and sas hard (very expensive)
