AMD FX 6100 ESXI Build

[j5428]

I finally got tired of my UnRAID machine sucking up all that power and sitting idle most of the time.  So I upgraded the motherboard and processor to a ASRock 970 Extreme 4 and FX 6100 and installed ESXi.

 

I tested version 5.0-rc8a using a M1015 and a few spare drives.  I copied over several gigs of data overnight as a test last night and everything seems to be working fine.

 

I have to get to work but I will update this post with Pics and specs later this week.

 

I built a few ESXi whiteboxes before but I never had a motherboard/cpu combination that passthrough would actually work on.  Thanks to Johnm and the ATLAS thread.  I used it as a guide to get the UnRAID virtual machine part up and running.

Awesome!  I am working on doing the exact same build.  I will be ordering my ASRock 970 extreme4 on the 3rd. 

 

What other hardware are you using?  Any tips for virtualizing Unraid on this setup?
