Hi Guys
I'm quite new here, and am happy to share my system with the community here.
I was able to assemble my long-awaited project more or less yesterday. Must say, I'm already quite familiar what ESXI and VMs etc.. Now I'm completely stuck. Because somehow, my system does not work as it should.
As mentioned, yesterday the system was finally assembled. Had to wait more or less a month for the mainboard. First I had problems with the HP Rom of the Raid controller. Had to remove the cache from the controller to get an error message to get into the bios. Otherwise the system would never boot (BlackBox with cursor blinking from time to time).
Since I can't get into ORCA, I guess I'll have to set up my raid via ESXI. Which is very difficult for me at the moment, because the hard drives are not recognized. And here I am wondering, what am I doing wrong? When I want to pass the raid controller via Passtrought to a VM, it starts up briefly and shuts down again without error message.
Where could be the error? The disks are connected through an adapter from SFF8087 to SFF8643 adapter via the backplane of the CS381. The disks also get power but somehow they are not recognized. Even if the HP Rom is turned on..... As soon as the initialization is finished, it briefly says that 0 disks are connected.
Another error: The Quadro P2200 was in the old system (same processor, different mainboard, with the same config (ESXI)). There it worked perfectly. The P2200 was passed to a WM without any problems. But with the new mainboard as soon as I set the Passtrought function in ESXI, it says it needs to reboot the host. This done, after reboot this message still stands. And the GPU cannot be selected.
Unfortunately not started as hoped.....
