    ESXi 5.5 and Realtek RTL 8111G

    Hi, thank you for the replies. 1GB nics will do fine for me, but I will not re-build a new eval every 30-60 days :-) With respect to RTL8111G, I have found this; https://vibsdepot.v-front.de/wiki/index.php/Net55-r8168 but have not been able to test it. My understanding is that the 5.1 driver...

    Great, I am considering a build similar to this, but perhaps using Shuttle XH81V. That is if I can get confirmed if RTL8111G driver is available.

    Home lab, NAS, www on one machine, VMWare and Microserver Gen8 - considerations,help

    Hi Nicholas, Are you running this VSAN cluster on the free ESXi license? This article list a passthru RAID controller as a requirement for VSAN. Do your NUCs have that? John

    ESXi 5.5 and Realtek RTL 8111G

    Hi all, I would like to build a 5.5 VSAN home lab using the Shuttle XH81V. See a XH61V build here: http://www.bussink.ch/?p=1123 Two questions arise: 1. I cannot find anyone having success with the 8111G nics on the net, the XH61V build linked to above uses 8111E. Has anyone had any success...

    Replacing NAS with VM host

    Considered using ESXi 5.1? No hazzle with unsupported nics. FreeNAS and pfSense should be no problem, what OS do you run the web servers on?

    ProxMox as ZFS-Host

    Hi, I googled for an All-in-one PROXMOX solution and decided to wake up this old thread again. I am doing some research on PROXMOX to replace my ESXi 5.1 host as I want to go all-in on open source leaving vsphere behind. I am researching the possibilities to run PROMOX as a combined...

    QNAP Turbo NAS OS on other hardware?

    Thank you ! I have been happy with my QNAP TS-239 for several years now, but want to upgrade, and prefer to build my own hardware I have been looking for a FreeNAS alternative as I do not need ZFS and prefer a Linux based OS. I have been googling a lot without fiding the site you linked...

    QNAP Turbo NAS OS on other hardware?

    Hi, I guess the question is also valid for the Synology NAS OS. They are both open source and available under GPL. Has anyone tried to install it on more powerful hardware? john

    Free version of Vcenter / Vcenter Appliance ??

    Hi, Due to the reduced HW support for non-server grade HW in ESXi 5.5 and the lack of a free vCenter license, I have been looking into XenServer lately. To me, the products seem to be very similar, and as XenServer has been open sourced we will never get the same problems using it. So...
