Hyper-V to ESXI

[andymiller6891]

Have always considered moving to esxi due to the lower footprint hypervisor.

my main issue is that the box that would be running esxi also has my adaptec 6x 3tb raid 6 array on it.

how would I present this to esxi, I currently have 2x 5tb VD's and what left is in a VD for CCTV.

last time I toyed with esxi I was unable to find a way to present this to esxi without creating lots of little datastores.

What is the right way to present this sort of config to esxi??

The current version of ESXI allows for datastores larger than 2TB. Is the raid array for storing VM's or is it storage that one of your VM's uses?

I have 1 5tb array mounted to my file server and 1 to my media server.
