ESXi Installation

Install ESXi to get started with running virtual machines. The machine running ESXi virtualization software

acts as a host in your virtual infrastructure. Hosts provide CPU and memory resources, access to storage, and

network connectivity for the virtual machines that reside on them.

ESXi Hardware Requirements

Make sure the host meets the minimum hardware configurations supported by ESXi 4.0.

You need the following hardware and system resources to install and use ESXi 4.0:

Supported server platform (for a list of supported platforms, see the Systems Compatibility Guide)

VMware ESXi 4.0 will only install and run on servers with 64-bit x86 CPUs.

Known 64-bit processors:

All AMD Opterons support 64 bit.

All Intel Xeon 3000/3200, 3100/3300, 5100/5300, 5200/5400, 7100/7300, and 7200/7400 support 64 bit.

All Intel Nehalem (no Xeon brand number assigned yet) support 64 bit.

2GB RAM minimum

One or more Gigabit or 10Gb Ethernet controllers. For a list of supported network adapter models, see the

Hardware Compatibility Guide at http://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility.

One or more of the following controllers (any combination can be used):

Basic SCSI controllers – Adaptec Ultra-160 or Ultra-320, LSI Logic Fusion-MPT, or most NCR/Symbios

SCSI.

RAID controllers – Dell PERC (Adaptec RAID or LSI MegaRAID), HP Smart Array RAID, or IBM

(Adaptec) ServeRAID controllers.

SCSI disk or a local (non-network) RAID LUN with unpartitioned space for the virtual machines.

For Serial ATA (SATA), a disk connected through supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA

controllers.

NOTE You cannot connect a SATA CD-ROM device to a virtual machine on an ESXi 4.0 host. To use the

SATA CD-ROM device, you must use IDE emulation mode.

ESXi 4.0 Installable supports installing on and booting from the following storage systems:

SATA disk drives – SATA disk drives connected behind supported SAS controllers or supported on-board

SATA controllers.

Supported SAS controllers include:

LSI1068E (LSISAS3442E)

LSI1068 (SAS 5)

IBM ServeRAID 8K SAS controller

Smart Array P400/256 controller
