Hi All,
I'm a bit of a VMware noob so go easy :-). I have a IBM BladeCenter S which already has some some blades in it and these are physical servers. I plan to add another HS23 Blade and use this as an ESXi (v5) host. I have 3 300GB disks I tend to use to create a new RAID 5 array for this ESXi host.
Does anyone have any knowledge of using VMare on a BladeCenter S that could tell me if what I'm about to do has any pitfalls?
I've seen this post http://communities.vmware.com/thread/344822 but unfortuantely I can't read French so I don't know what the issue was.
I've also noticed that this RAID module firmware update for the BladeCenter S https://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/myportal/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-5087717 states that it supports vSphere 5 Update 1. That would suggest previous versions of the firmware didn't support vSphere 5 Update 1 but does anyone know what previous firmware versions (if any) supported vSphere 5 only?
Cheers
