Re: Tips to convert an old server for workstation/home server use? ML350 G6
So you are saying that the BIOS will allow booting from a SATA SSD right?

Re: Tips to convert an old server for workstation/home server use? ML350 G6
Over the weekend I added a 1TB SATA SSD and installed ESXi 6.7 on it. The install went fine and ESXi is cool, but I couldn't get it to see the RAID array. Has anyone had success getting the P410i raid controller to be visible with 6.7? Or is there an earlier version that works better with this generation hardware?
Currently I have (8) 300GB SAS drives in the RAID enclosure in RAID 5 giving me 1.5TB of durable shared storage. I also have the RAID extension card and could add another enclosure for 8 more drives. Not much point though if I can't get the OS to see the drives.

Officially, VMware ESXi only supports the ML350 G6 (indeed, likely any G6) up to version 5.5 - but there are a lot of reports of 6.0 working well and some even for 6.5. I'd probably try 6.0 and if that didn't work, use 5.5 if I were in your shoes.

Thanks for this information. I have installed the custom HPE 5.5 on the server for now and will be checking it out.
