Good Morning,
We have recently implemented some changes in our network, introducing VLANs being one of them. Everything works fine except our ESXi box.
Our ESXi is configured with 5 vm's. 4 of which run on VLAN 99, the final one running on VLAN 50.
The ESXi has been configured with the...
Looking for mini pc to run proxmox and a few vms including windows 11 jumpbox vm to access my environment. Also would like the ability to run VMware esxi 7 or 8 without jumping through a bunch of hoops trying to load the drivers. Ideally going to run proxmox in software mirror on the 2x nvmes...
Im looking for suggestions for a low power server.
Im currently using a HP DL360 G9, but need to upgrade due to high power consumption.
This is for a ESXi host.
I bought 3x MZ1LB1T9HALS PM983 drives off eBay. They are all new with zero hours.
I'm trying to use these with ESXi 8. I currently have 970 Evo Plus's that work just fine, even with vSAN.
VMware HCL lists minimum supported firmware for the PM983 in 8U1 as EDA7202Q. Mine came with EDA73F2Q...
I've tired both a Dell T7920 Rack and Dell T7920 tower and trying to get ESXI 8 to see a Samsung PM1733 15.36TB drive and Kioxia CM6 (I have 8x in total) as a device, to build a datastore. The BIOS CAN SEE the NVME drives (I've attached it via cheap amazon NVME/PCIE adapter, HBA card, and even...
I have a Dell PowerEdge R610 server for LAB usage. As VMware ESXi 6.7 went end-of-life in October 2022, I decided it was time to upgrade. Instead of going with VMware ESXi 7.x I went straight to ESXi 8.x. The upgrade itself wasn't too difficult, have to workaround some unsupported CPU warnings...
I’m trying to configure a 10Gb fiber link between my two ESX and my TrueNAS Scale. I configured all my IP address correctly (subnet/netmask) but I’m unable to ping the destination interface. As the connection are direct between both machines, vlan is not configured.
My first idea is to think my...

They are gauging interest in a bulk purchase of vmug memberships. Benefits include non commercial use VMware licenses, training, etc.
I have this card VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter (think its been flashed with IT firmware if that matters) which seems to be having issues in ESXi 7.x . The device and its disks dont seem to be recognized. When I used the vanilla esxi image the card...
I am trying to figure out a way to set up 2 seats on one computer. I know it is possible but I have a really hard time to figure out what is the best way for my use case, what are the benefits or what are the trade-off.
Here is what I would like to do: a 2 dynamic attribution of resources seats...
Was wondering if anyone has tried running Napp-IT-all-in-one under ESXi 7? (or any ZFS based VM for that matter)
Been reading reports of people saying that popular LSI based cards are not longer working in ESXi.
Since with Napp-it we run in passthrough mode to the VM and we don't need the...

I have a homelab setup that consists of a box running FreeNAS serving iSCSI to 2xDL380e Gen8's. I've been using "MT26448 [ConnectX EN 10GigE , PCIe 2.0 5GT/s]" cards, these were ConnectX-2 HP branded single SFP+ port cards. They will not function in ESXi 7.0 as they function as a "legacy"...
I'm looking for options to connect two VMware ESXi, 6.7.0 machines with the most out of the box compatibility with the host systems.
I am considering a Chelsio T520 for 10Gbe but would like to explore any higher throughput options for TCP/IP and vMotion for the same price ($50-100 per card)...
I have a number of LP Dell R630 machines with 2.5" disk slots.
I would like to have some shared storage based on the lowest power possible using high capacity spinning drives.
My idea was to start with 4 x 2 TB or 4 x 3TB drives since I can't see initial requirement being over this (home lab...
I have to be careful about what I say here, but if you read between the lines here I think you will understand what I'm getting at: VMware plans to deprecate vmkLinux APIs and associated driver ecosystem - VMware vSphere Blog
So anything without a native vSphere driver ***MAY*** not working in...
I use a VM with OmniOS r151024ap and napp-it v. 18.01b as a storage server for a VMware 6.0u3 cluster. Around 30 VMs use 8 iSCSI LUNs for storage. It is mostly very stable, but about twice a year the storage VM stops responding to iSCSI requests from ESXi hosts. After an incident, vmkernel log...
Hi guys,
I'm needing some help here as I've been putting this project off for way too long.
I have a 5+ year old i7 based HP workstation running Windows 10 that I've been using as a catch-all server for all of the random home server tasks that I need. It is running Plex, Milestone Xprotect...
Hello,
(Mods, please move this if in wrong category)
I have 2x Chelsio T422-CR NICs installed in my esx hosts. Both hosts are on the same patch level of 6.5.
I have installed 6.5 Chelsio T5/T4 VIB and all interfaces appear.
I have set both adapters to esxi mode using CLI tool.
Now...
