Taking my raid and installing OMV in ESXi

  • Hey all, looking for some tips before I go for this.


    I recently felt like I haven't been using the most of my hardware and basically fubar'd my install trying to get virtualbox going outside of the plugins.


    So I am looking to install ESXi and then install OMV and mount the 2x3tb raid I've been using. However, as I understand you have to build a virtual hard drive for the virtual server so I am pretty nervous about making the move.


    I think maybe I can just tell the virtual server it can use the hard drives like when designating a disc drive?


    Advice very much appreciated, and probably very much needed.

  • I wasn't successful in passing drives through to OMV in ESXI on my Gen7 microserver. Some drives refused to pass through. Not sure if it was due to the drives or to the microserver architecture, but ESXI is a bit picky on hardware.
    I finally moved to Proxmox instead of ESXI and it works flawlessly.
