You might be able to change the RAID mode to HBA mode in the system bios (see page 18)

Supermicro is comparable in performance to Dell but has lower build quality. We only run Supernmicro in our production farms because they are branded and 100% supported by Nutanix. IE: I never have to deal with super micro directly.
I explained this to my mgmt in terms of car build quality: Do...
I'm surprised no one had mentioned Intel vPro (AMT specifically) tech - usually limited to business desktops, but you could use it to control the bios settings.
I love the nutanix platform, and their CE (free) edition is exceptionally generous (must continually be updated to the latest release and up to four nodes only - which isn't a problem for most home users), but do keep in mind that it's pretty resource heavy and expect to dedicate (as in...
This is a bit more than a "little" harsh statement. Remember that engineers aren't actually running companies.
Any company's primary goal is to make money, not to make the best product possible. I'd also argue that both PFsense and Ubiquiti were revolutionary products and that both...
Hmm, It's been more than a few months, and his new position is still hush-hush. No new position on his LinkedIn page, his personal site, or Twitter, which he hasn't posted since 2017.
Where you start - defining what you actually need. As in, the storage (both capacity and performance) should first be fairly easy, then memory, then compute.
My guess is one well-spec box should be able to meet your needs, except for redundancy.
Not that I can think of on top of my head. I recommend you checking VMWare hardware requirements and compatibility tables yourself, I all can provide are educated guesses. Both Windows client and flash-based ESXI mgmt interface are long gone, but html5 was eventually built to be just as good...
Sorry for being the bearer of bad news, but from ESXi 7, VMWare kept increasing hardware requirements and sunsetting old hardware.
Most likely, the newest version you could install is ESXi6.7. You can easily install 6.7 from file using cli...
I like your optimism. A few years ago. I built at home 100% un-supported and free hardware 100% SATA SSD based vsan on 3 nodes. It was before the ESA. After I tweaked it a bit since my hardware was below minimum spec - it ran fine. Then, in a moment of pure "genius," I moved my slow Mac...
My suggestion is to use it as a playground or lab environment. Maybe, at most, run a Dev environment.
This hardware isn't suited to run production in a medium-sized business environment.
Not unless you don't value your job stability.
Also, the amount of memory is meager compared to flash...
