Hi all,
Thank's all for the support and the great job you provide !
I'm not a VMWARE specialist.
I'm on a DELL T610, with a VMWARE ESXi 4.1. Severals virtuals machines run on a RAID5 grap with a PERC6i controler.
The SATA CDROM drive is visible and usable on the hypervisor.
Actually i add a 4To sata drive (Seagate ST4000NM0033).
I see my HDD in the BIOS and i see it too on the vmware console :
/dev/disks # esxcfg-mpath -l
........
