I'm attempting (using HP's custom build) to get ESXI to work with the B140i Raid controller. Installing ESXi is fine, but when I install a guest I get latency times of 2700+ms and the creation of my ext4 filesystem on the volume group takes forever. Digging around (and spending 3 hours with HP Support) shows that this controller is notorious for poor performance. Can anyone recommend a RAID controller the will actually work well with VMWare on the DL160. I've got no problem buying a better controller, i'm just at a loss for what to spec out.
