Has anybody managed to install ESXi (embedded or installable) on a Dell PowerEdge R300 using the SAS 6/iR controller? I know the server is not on the HCL for ESXi but it is for ESX.
Also the SAS 6/iR RAID controller is listed under the I/O compatibility.
I would appreciate any feedback on this.
Thanks for that but is anyone using one with ESXi or ESX?
The list from above listet Links to vmtn community threads where people use these machines, so i dont understand your question.
Regards

Sorry I didn't explain properly. I am looking at purchasing a server to run ESXi on and i am trying to find out if anyone has used the Dell PE R300 and what problems they may have encountered. I am looking at either Dell or HP so trying to get some views.
Did you ever try this? I'm about to do the same.
CIM monitoring of S-ATA-disks through RAID is my biggest concern. Do you know if this works?
It works. Everything works. I bought the server and did the installation.
