ESXI 8 installer says CPU is deprecated
ESXI 7 installer says CPU will be deprecated in next version.
Either way I have to bypass since I doesnt like the LSI HBA.

Either way, updated to 7.03. Uses more RAM than 6.7, had to decrease guest RAM size.
Now need to move OmniOS from r151032 to latest stable while I'm at it.
Update: Weird.
After upgrading to 7.03 it didnt complain about the CPU anymore when trying to apply 8.0
Updated to r151044 without any issue.
It's just insane how smoothly these upgrades go on the aio, a few years of updates issued at once and the only hiccup was a certificate that had to be re-issued.
Certainly convinced me to stay with the aio and leave truenas be.
@gea Can Guest VM version be upgraded to ESXI 8.0 for OmniOS? Or should I leave at 6.5?
Thanks.
Either way, that was a slight upgrade detour, still need to decide if I should go the xeon route or AMD X470 route.

You are answering something I didn't ask.
But why would you even want a CPU with integrated GPU when you have IPMI?

Does not matter for OmniOS. This is only related to newer ESXi features and backward compatibility of VMs with an older ESXi.

Jeez, Unbuffered Ecc ram is double the price of registered ecc, and 128gb is quite a bit.
Back to the drawing board.
Any idea if I can pass through the onchip SATA controller on an Epyc 7002 series SOC to Solaris using ESXI?

I just looked around for affordable uATX boards with ECC, ipmi, 2xM2 and Intel nic.
Propably I would prefer https://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=X570D4U#Specifications
with an AMD Ryzen 5000 and ECC Ram

use an AMD Ryzen Pro when Radeon graphics is wanted

I initially ordered the ASROCK ROMED6U4-2L2T and was about to order an EPYC 7302.
Then I saw the idle power consumption hovers around 100W for similar systems, which is about 60W more than lower end systems, over the years it amounts for quite a bit, so cancelled the MB.
I then opted for the ASROCK Rack B550D4U. Pretty similar feature set to the X570, slightly cheaper. Added a Ryzen 5600.
I managed to find some decently priced DDR4 ECC UDIMMs, 30$ per 16GBm got 4 of them.
Now waiting for everything to arrive.
