Dear Support,
I wonder if you can help with some info, I am looking to purchase a nice new ml350p gen 8 for use with the free version of vsphere, I tried to talk to the tech guys at hp but they said I had to talk to the supplier, they were very helpful and said it would work fine but I just want to ask some technical peeps before I ask the customer to spend a couple of grand.
A little info for you, they are only running an old nt4 server on it and only have about 15 users so not vast at all.
What I am looking at is this:
And 4 of these in a RAID10:
And I was going to boot using USB stick.
All I need to know is tht I can either use the HP custom image for the free version of vsphere or a fresh install of vsphere from vmware will work fine on the hardware ??
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHi,
I can confirm that this will work... Installed 2 days ago a ML350p Gen8 server with ESXi 5.1 free version downloaded from the VMware website.
Just one thing to think about: use the HP custom image... So you are sure that you have all the latest drivers and mgmt providers build in...
Kr,
Bart

Hi,
Yes the custom image is also a free version that only needs to be registered to be used for free after the standard 60 days...
