Right now I need to test vSphere in a lab but later it will be a small server in production.
I got an "Asus P8H77-V LE" motherboard yesterday and I just give it a try, it worked!
vSphere detected the Intel SATA AHCI as Local/ATA and it detected the network too. I'm already
testing with Centos 6 and seems to be working fine.
Another question is, if I don't use hardware RAID, I can use 2 disk and use software raid
in the Linux guest. But what happens if the disk where ESXi is installed fails, how do I boot
the server? Should I need to buy a new disk, install ESXi there and import the VMs from
the other disk that is still working?

Oliver
