I am going to have one of our techs make a trip out to one of our remote data centers to install ESXi 5.1 on an older 1950. Looking at the HCL it appears both the storage and network adapters (listed below) are supported but in the past I have run into the stock ISO installer missing the proper drivers for the storage and needing to build a customized one. Without being able to test this before we make the trip, is there anyway to know if the stock ISO will recognize the following?
Vendor: DELL Model: PERC 5/i Rev: 1.03
eth0: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f8000000, IRQ 169, node addr 0019b9ece2ba
eth1: Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5708 1000Base-T (B2) PCI-X 64-bit 133MHz found at mem f4000000, IRQ 169, node addr 0019b9ece2bc
Any tips would be appreciated.
Thanks,
