Hi,
I have a issue where my SAN is on the HCL for 3.5 U5 only. So I am looking to use this on my servers. Trouble is my servers (which are on the HCL for 3.5 U5) have a RAID card which is not supported on ESX 3.5 U5 (Dell R710 with H700 RAID card). So I start looking for another RAID card...
So looking around I notice the PERC 6/i is compatible with these servers. I go to look on the HCL and am confronted with this:
DELL | Dell PERC 6/i | LSI | SAS/SATA-RAID | ESX / ESXi 4.1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U2 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 , ESX 3.0.3 U1 , ESX 3.0.3 , ESX 3.0.2 U1 |
DELL | Dell PERC 6/i Adapter | LSI | SAS/SATA-RAID | ESX / ESXi 4.1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U2 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 |
DELL | DELL PERC 6/I Integrated RAID Controller | LSI | SAS/SATA-RAID | ESX / ESXi 4.1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U2 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 U1 , ESX / ESXi 4.0 , ESX 3.0.3 U1 , ESX 3.0.3 , ESX 3.0.2 U1 |
DELL | PERC 6/i | Dell | SAS/SATA-RAID | ESX 3.5 U5 , ESX 3.5 U4 , ESX 3.5 U3 , ESX 3.5 U2 , ESX 3.5 U1 , ESX 3.5 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded U5 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded U4 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded U3 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded U2 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded U1 , ESXi 3.5 Embedded , ESXi 3.5 Installable U5 , ESXi 3.5 Installable U4 , ESXi 3.5 Installable U3 , ESXi 3.5 Installable U2 , ESXi 3.5 Installable U1 , ESXi 3.5 Installable |
So what exactly is an end user supposed to take from this?? Is it supported? Is it not supported? What exactly is the difference between each line?
