Use other RAID Controller Card (Highpoint RocketRAID 3000 series

Highpoint is very good RAID controller card. How can make it work for Vmware ESX? I know Vmware is not to support this RAID.

Thanks

For ESX it is up to VMware to support the hardware by the vmkernel - so if VMware has not supported it you will not be able to use it in an ESX host -

Contact your RAID card manfuacturer and get them to sign on to the VMware Technology Alliance Program. This way, they'll get access to SDKs and DDKs. 3Ware, for example, now has a driver for ESX Server ! We've been waiting a long time for that.
