ESXi and the R200
I’m getting some comments about the “Can’t write to device” errors. At first I thought it might be a problem with 3.5U2 since I had no problems installing the 3.5U1 on the R200, but my reinstall with 3.5U2 went without a hitch. So, here are some other ideas:
- Bad disk drive / disk drive firmware / disk related problems (I have changed from the disk delivered by Dell to a WDC 640Gig)?
- Old bios?
- Corrupted CD?
- Bad luck?
If anyone know the source of this problem, please make a comment :-)

I had a problem installing ESXi 3.5U2 on a R200.
I tried different ISO images, CD burners and CD’s and even different HD’s. No matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to work.
Because I read somewhere on the internet that the SAS 5iR was compatible, I ordered it. With this controller, ESXi works like a charm.
