OK so I have the following components:
MB: Ga-ma785gmt-ud2h on-board five SATA II ports support RAID 0, 1, 0+1, and JBOD
Memory: 8GB 16gb max
CPU: Amd Phenom IIx6 1090T
I have esxi 5.1 installed/running. This is a at home test rig. I have (4) 1tb drives available.
My question is in regards to datastore -
1) Can I add drives directly to this machine and run it that way? If so what is the best way to set the drives up as. Single sata drives/raid/etc
2) On this current machine about how many vm's could I run on it? If I add more memory will that increase how many vm's I can add?
Thanks
Chad
