Please post a system log that results after having tried to assign one of the disks.

You can make it work with scsi disks (i know because I've done it Beta quasi found out how (with some very small tweaking in ESXi) I don't remember the thread but believe it was something related with pvm drivers. Look for that, if you don't find it drop me a line and I'll try to guide you Sent from my GT-P7500 using Tapatalk 2 Yep I have seen that before, but it would be better to work properly without hack/tweak.

How do I do that? vmw_pvscsi driver is already installed on unraid but unraid GUI does not work with SCSI virtual disks. In the VM setting, you add SCSI Virtual Disk. 1. Click on Add 2. Click on Hard Disk on the list and click Next 3. Select "Create a virtual disk" and click on Next 4. Choose a disk size and select any Disk Provisioning 5. Make sure SCSI is selected on the Virtual Device Node 6. Click on Next and Finish On Unraid GUI, it show "unassigned" disk and when I select a SCSI disk from the dropdown then it goes back to "unassigned". If you change to IDE on the Virtual Device Node then it will work but it will be very slow. Screenshot:

Tom... Feature request: Can you make Unraid compatible with SCSI virtual disks (ESXi)? That would be useful for cache virtual disk. Unraid only work with IDE virtual disks which is slow.

I am selling U-NAS NSC-800 if anyone is interested... http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=30408.0

I am selling U-NAS NSC-800 for £110.00 Included: - U-NAS NSC-800 Server Chassis - 2.5" OS Tray for U-NAS Chassis - 16X PCIe Extension Kit for NSC-800 Server Chassis Brand New - Box has been opened to inspect, but the ITX case has never been taken out of the box. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/111224662122?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Would this cables be compatible with IBM M1015 card? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Molex-79576-3002-SFF-8087-Connector-to-4-SATA-Cable-HDD-Hard-Drive-Mini-SAS-19-/251009403680?pt=UK_Computing_Drive_Cables_Adapters&hash=item3a71538b20

Oh well Mistakes happen... I always thought ESXi can run without Vt-d if I am not using PCI sata controller, etc. I might order Intel CPU Xeon E3-1230 v3 According to http://www.servethehome.com/Server-detail/intel-xeon-e3-1230-v3-review-haswell-xeon-benchmarks/ Very good idle power consumption, only 21w

On ebay, IBM ServeRAID M1015 is not in the UK, so longer wait for delivery. i-store-online.com doesn't seem legit site

Thanks garycase. I have built a new server, E3C226D2I motherboard with Intel i3-4130T CPU I am trying to install ESXi and its freeze on the "Initializing IOV"... I have contacted asrock support and waiting for reply.. I might made a mistake ordering Intel i3-4130T CPU...

Does anyone know where I can order IBM ServeRAID M1015 in the UK? That seem harder to find.

Which linux distro? I guess you are installing each apps manually. Is the Media Beast VM Windows or a Linux Distro? Can I get away with having 4 GB of ram for unraid VM and Media VM with plex XBMC and Subsonic ? Its a 32bit ubuntu linux distro with all the apps installed serately thru apt-get, works real easy actually.. Ubuntu: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server Vmware tools: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools Then just google for sabnzbd, sickbeard and couchpotato "install ubuntu", its real easy. Cool stuff, What are you using to transfer files from ubuntu to unraid?

Which linux distro? I guess you are installing each apps manually.

Nice! I am looking for 16GB Ram, which one will be compatible for ASRock E3C226D2I? Amazon or Scan link would be helpful

There is other one I have found: http://www.asus.com/Commercial_Servers_Workstations/P9DI/#overview

Does anyone know which mini-ITX Socket 1150 Motherboard that is compatible with ESXi? I need 6 sata ports as long it compatible with ESXi.

Which mini-ITX Socket 1150 Motherboard will be compatible with ESXi? It seem Intel I210 and I217 Network Controller will not work on ESXi.

Does 80 PLUS Certified have anything to do with Noise level check as well? In that PDF, mention nothing about silence/noise.

How quiet is Seasonic SS-500L1U?

That link does direct to Asus H87I-PLUS mini-ITX Socket 1150 Motherboard page but look like I accidentally copy and paste the text wrong, I've fixed it I am not sure if I am keen with SFX power supply - what the noise level like? I want silence power supply, I am considering Corsair CP-9020058-UK CXM Builder series 430W http://www.scan.co.uk/products/430w-corsair-cxm-builder-series-hybrid-modular-85-eff-80-plus-bronze-eps-12v-atx

I want to build a new ESXi server, I currently a HP Microserver NL36. I really like Lian-Li PC-Q25B Mini ITX Tower Case, so here the spec: CPU: Intel Core i5-4570S 2.90GHz Low Power (Haswell) Socket LGA1150 Case: Lian Li PC-Q25B Mini-ITX Cube - Black Motherboard: Asus H87I-PLUS mini-ITX Socket 1150 Motherboard Memory: Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Which Sata Cables do you suggest and length size? Will move HDDs (Samsung 2TB HD204UI) from HP Microserver NL36 to a new build. It must be really quiet as possible. Hows the spec looking?

Just to be VERY explicit: these are the ONLY PSUs I use with Q25B builds these days: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256063 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817256084 Either is an excellent choice -- you do NOT need the modular unit; but it is a slightly more efficient PSU (about 5% better) ... so will use slightly less power. According to the reviews, that is loud PSU. I need something really quiet PSU

Very interesting thanks. I was considering to build Lian-Li PC-Q25B I want to build a ESXi box, I think i5 cpu and ASUS H87I-PLUS should do well.
