Hi,
A few years ago I got this workstation for peanuts and swapped a lot out of it for better newer hardware and used it as a homelab.
At this point in time the config is the following.
HP Z620 with E5-2680v2
128GB RAM PC3-12800
2 * Intel DC S4500 1.92TB
3 * Samsung EVO 840 500GB (no longer used lately)
GTX 1060 6GB
All with VMWare ESXi
Now the problem is that lately I started playing around with Machine Learning...
Most of the time, it was running Cisco Collaboration stuff on VMWare ESXi.
But lately I have started to hate the 8vCPU limit, because playing around with machine Learning...
So went to Proxmox. But had troubles passsing through GPU for Machine Learning purposes.
So went to Linux KVM which kinda worked, but I miss VMWare...
Lately I have been playing with Windows 10 Professional (It had an OEM Win7 Pro serial attached, so why not try that). Hyper-V seems to have evolved a lot, but I can't run Cisco Collaboration stuff on it...
The question is now. What should I do for the future.
I was thinking about dual booting. --> With ESXi and the other with someother to define Hypervisor...
Or is there a cheap way to remove ESXi restriction?
Or is there even a better way.
