    Server setup with VMs for network

    Thank you. I believe all three mentioned (ESXi, Hyper-V, and ProxMox) are all powerful. It is finding what works. I am willing to put the time in, but finding resources on ESXi and ProxMox are less likely than Hyper-V. I am willing to put the time in, and sometimes the best way to learn...

    Server setup with VMs for network

    Thank you. I understand that... I just wish it were easier to drop the disks in to the server, and have access to them physically and connect them to the VM I require them for. I setup the NASLite M2 x64 NAS, and NASLite has zero issues recognizing the hard drives if they are mapped (see...

    ESXi - RAW Drive Mapping + NASlite + *.vmdk + disk permissions

    Hello, I am hoping that I would be able to find some help with setting up ESXi 6 on my machine to run a few Virtual Machines to learn various Operating Systems and Server systems, as well as running my NASLite M2 x64 system. Some background first: System Setup: MB - SuperMicro...
