BL20p - Installation Instructions
I would like to RTFM (lol...) before we get it in so I don't look like a knucklehead.
Thanks!

Re: BL20p - Installation Instructions
But I don't see any Linux support.
What we will be using the BL20p for is ESX 3.0. Are there any issues running ESX 3.0 on this blade?

Re: BL20p - Installation Instructions
I'm sorry, I'm so used to posting Unix questions I didn't stop to think.
Sorry.
Could you move it for me?

Re: BL20p - Installation Instructions
Also, please note that VMware ESX <> Linux. This confusion is caused by the "Service Console" being a special instance of a virtual machine that runs Linux, but the hypervisor is actually called the VMkernel. If you have Linux experience, you'll have a leg up on ESX, but there are special considerations for VMware.

Re: BL20p - Installation Instructions
When you say BL20p I assume you mean you're ordering new G4 variants...
If you happen to be getting the older (second user) G1 variant bear in mind that these only had 100Mb/s NICs which could limit things in ESX...
Cheers,
Rob
