There is unfortunately no health information available in the VMware vSphere Client.

Hi,

Which information do you get from the “Health Status” ?
Do you get “Fan” and “Temperature” values ?

Thanks.

Hi,

I have a E350M1 (Asrock with AMD APU, 16GB), works like a charm with vSphere 5 Hypervisor. No local storage, booted from USB.

Cheers,

Edward

Hello,

Thanks for sharing information…
RTL8111E is really supported with ESXi 5?

I saw most of blog Intel 82579LM and 82579V on-board chips are not supported & they are common on all new Intel M/B

I am planning to setup Lab, Please guide.

Thanks,
Praavin

Hi, the i2 2100T does not support VT-d according to Intel: http://ark.intel.com/products/53423/Intel-Core-i3-2100T-Processor-%283M-Cache-2_50-GHz%29 . Sorry.

What about VT-d for PCI-e LSI SAS/SATA controller passthrough to a FreeNAS VM box? is that working with i3 2100T? (most likely going for a ITX mb with Intel NIC on it)

As a guest OS? Yes.

Will this CPU/Build support x64 OS like WHS 2011 or Win 2008? Thanks for the great write up.

HI Daniel,

I do not even remember that anymore, which probably would mean that they were minor issues. The only thing I remember is that the RTL8111E was not supported in ESXi 4.1u1. This has changed in 5.0.

One minor thing is that the fan from the Intel i3 2100T cooler is making some sort of ticking sound if the RPM is very low. That might annoy you a bit if you are sensitive to such noises.

Hi Frode,

This is exactly what I was thinking to build. I was wondering, what kind of issues you ran in to with the new hardware?
