Installing and Configuring ESX Server on HP Blade

Servers

For a list of blade servers supported with ESX Server, see the ESX Server Systems

Compatibility Guide at www.vmware.com/products/server/esx_specs.html.

HP Blade Server Hardware Requirements

Blade server hardware requirements are as follows:

! Blade server enclosure

! BL20p, BL20p G2, BL20p G3, or BL40p blade servers

! GbE or GbE2 Interconnect Switch (GbE2 is required for Fibre Channel connectivity

with BL20p G2 blade servers)

! Dual Port Fibre Channel Mezzanine Card (for FC connectivity with BL20p G2

server blades)

Sufficient physical memory to prevent virtual machine swapping from being a

significant performance issue. Refer to the ESX Server 2.5 Administration Guide for more

information.

Configuring ESX Server on HP Proliant BL p-class Blade

Servers

There are two main choices for blade server storage:

! Local storage

! SAN devices with Fibre Channel adapters

Local SCSI

On HP blades, VMware recommends that the local SCSI drives are placed into a RAID1

(mirrored) configuration for redundancy.

OTE This is a requirement if you are planning to use Fibre Channel SAN storage media or

VMotion.
