Update on homebrew ESXi Host —
I had built my first ESXi host with homebrewed hardware. There was a bunch of hardware lying around and had heard of people installing ESXi on their hardware (Mike D’s ESXi Host)
ESXi Host Info
As having ones own host beats using Fusion any day, I couldn’t resist. I am in the process of building an iSCSI server to provide a nice backend. This host was built using a Winfast C51GM03 Motherboard, Dual Core AMD Opteron and 4GB of cheap RAM. I am not expecting this box to “blow your mind” concerning performance (Thats reserverd for the Dual-Quad core 32GB RAM servers at work, 35 hosts on each), but this will do in a pinch for 4 home Linux hosts for me to test host creation and automation tools.
