One or more of the following controllers (any combination can be used):

Basic SCSI controllers – Adaptec Ultra-160 or Ultra-320, LSI Logic Fusion-MPT, or most NCR/Symbios

SCSI.

RAID controllers – Dell PERC (Adaptec RAID or LSI MegaRAID), HP Smart Array RAID, or IBM

(Adaptec) ServeRAID controllers.

SCSI disk or a local (non-network) RAID LUN with unpartitioned space for the virtual machines.

For Serial ATA (SATA), a disk connected through supported SAS controllers or supported on-board SATA

controllers.

NOTE You cannot connect a SATA CD-ROM device to a virtual machine on an ESXi 4.0 host. To use the

SATA CD-ROM device, you must use IDE emulation mode.

ESXi 4.0 Installable supports installing on and booting from the following storage systems:

SATA disk drives – SATA disk drives connected behind supported SAS controllers or supported on-board

SATA controllers.

Supported SAS controllers include:

LSI1068E (LSISAS3442E)

LSI1068 (SAS 5)

IBM ServeRAID 8K SAS controller

Smart Array P400/256 controller

Dell PERC 5.0.1 controller

Supported on-board SATA include:

Intel ICH9

Nvidia MCP55

ServerWorks HT1000

NOTE ESXi does not support using local, internal SATA drives on the host server to create VMFS datastores

that are shared across multiple ESXi hosts.

Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disk drives – Supported for installing ESXi 4.0 and for storing virtual machines

on VMFS partitions.

USB devices – Supported for installing ESXi 4.0. For more information, refer KB 1010574 at

http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1010574.

Install ESXi 4.0

You use the ESXi 4.0 CD to install the ESXi 4.0 software onto a SAS, SATA, or SCSI hard drive.

You cannot install ESXi 4.0 on a SAN.

Prerequisites

Verify that the server hardware clock is set to UTC. This setting is in the system BIOS.

Verify that a keyboard and monitor are attached to the machine on which the ESXi software will be

installed.

Consider disconnecting your network storage. This action decreases the time it takes the installer to search

for available disk drives.
