VMware ESXi 3.5 Update 2 on an IBM x440
05 August 2008| Well, it apparently works on an old IBM e-series x440. |
 |
| This is an x440 with 4 1.4GHz procs and 16GB of RAM. All 4 processors are available. |
 |
| I'll see if I can get the controller information, and pass it along to the forums. |
Updated: When Hyperthreading is turned on, the box craps out. So, no go for Hyperthreading.
And the SCSI controller is listed as follows: Adpatec AIC-7899, IBM ServerRAID Bios 6.10.24
This is the same box that we installed ESX 3.5 on in this earlier post: http://www.jasemccarty.com/blog/2007/12/vmware-esx-35-on-ibm-x440.html
That being said, it looks like ESX and ESXi 3.5 can run on an IBM x440.
