Finding the hardware list isn’t hard; finding the hardware physically is. Much like RAID cards and motherboards (rocketraid doesn’t play well with a lot of boards, BTW (and not ESXi-compatible either) there are all sorts of things that simply don’t play well together. We just happen to be lucky these days that most hardware works with most others - you just have to worry about the specialized stuff.
For ESXi I stick to big name-brand systems, either the SuperMicro boards or the brand servers (HP, Dell, IBM). As for Adam’s earlier comment about searching elsewhere - it’s easier to be slightly helpful and direct then be direct and unhelpful :) On Sep 19, 2014, at 12:37, Adam Thompson <[email protected]> wrote: > There's also the unofficial VMware ESXi white-box HCL, but it hasn't really > been updated since v4.x. > Agreed that if this is anything more than a test system, stick with the HCL > and a support contract.
