The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

How do I add storage to ESXi host

Asked by eagle241 in VMware

Tags: Promise, RAID Controller, TX4310

Background:
I am running a SBS2003 server in a separate box with a Promise TX4310 hardware RAID card, in RAID 5 WITH 4X320Gb Hdd, but want to get rid of this box and instead run SBS2003 as a guest in VMWare on my new box as described below

I have purchased a 2RU Supermicro X7DBE M/B with Intel 5000P chipset, S771, 2x 5420 Xeon , 8GB FB-DIMM DDR2 667/533 RAM), 2xIntel Giga LAN, Intel ESB2 for SATA-II RAID 0,1,5,10(Windows only).
I have added 1x200Gb Hdd and installed VMWare ESXi 3.5. The host runs great it has recognized my hdd, cpu, RAM and even the 6xSATA ports.
I have create a new guest running SBS2003 and I now want to somehow add my existing RAID 5 disks from my SBS2003 box into my new server (it is a 6 bay box) and have the guest instance of SBS2003 on the new server accessing this storage.

What and how is the best way to do so? I have read a lot of papers on stage solutions, do I somehow have use ISCSI? If so how do I do that?

Any help is very much appreciated.
