Supermicro X7SBL-LN2 and ESXi 5.0


Recommended Posts

Just a note for anyone trying to get this board to work with VMWare ESXi 5.0.

 

This board is technically capable of VT-d (DirectI/O), but I struggled forever to get ESXi 5.0 to recognize it. Very long story short, the latest publicly available BIOS (1.2a) is broken and VT-d support doesn't work. After several emails, cases, and phone calls, I finally got someone at SM to send me their latest beta BIOS for the MB which seems to work very well, and completely fixes the VT-d issues I was having.

 

If anyone's having similar problems with this MB and is interested in the BIOS, just shoot me a PM.
