hi i like to implement a lab and i have hp g6 server but just with one 600 gb sas disk is it possible to install esxi on that and also use it as a storage for putting virtual machines on ? i know that i can install esxi on a cool disk but if what i said is possible i prefer to use that thanks so much
When you install ESXi onto a single disk (or array) the installer will use the space it requires for the system partitions and then create a datastore with the remaining storage. The system partitions use about 5 GB.
you mean if i create a RAID 0 with that single hdd and install esxi on that, After installation i can see that hdd as a local datastore (just 5 GB is gone) and use it to store my VMs ?
