终于完成了vmware server 到 ESX 的porting, 不容易。

还是要有探索精神，虽然手册上写ESX不适合装在SATA硬盘上,但2950的SCSI controller还是很

大家都想用ＳＡＴＡ 硬盘上ＥＳＸ，这样可以节省很大一部份资金，所以我建议大家能否把支持ＳＡＴＡ 硬盘的阵列卡型列出来，如果有图更好，有资源的朋友进行一下测试，通过后，大家预定，或根椐该卡的图去电脑城购买呀，我就打算等哪位兄弟例出兼容的卡，去电脑城找。大家觉的怎样呀，大家一起动手，就不用花冤枉钱呀

LSI MegaRaid SATA 150-4 / 150-6 Raid card

Adaptec 2610SA RAID card

Dell Cerc 1.5/6ch Raid

Intel SRCS14L SATA Raid


以上四种SATA Raid卡确认支持VMWare ESX Server ...

咱们要先从没到有，再从有到寻找到最便宜又实用的卡，这几个卡，偶今天去查查看都要多少钱

经查LSI MegaRaid SATA 150-4 / 150-6 Raid card   要3800左右
Adaptec 2610SA RAID card      1500左右    6个SATA接口，raid 5 0 1支持  64位PCI接口，不能上普通PC PCI口，家用机没希望 上 郁闷


另外两个末知，呵呵，看来这个adaptec是我们首选 了，如果有更便宜的我会继续跟进。
