I am planning to run xpenology on with the below hardware. I am a beginner with ESXI but want to virtualise the software so i can run various other VM's on the hardware.
Build:
Case: Silverstone DS380
PSU: SIlverstone 450W SFF
Motherboard: Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F - 8 core Xeon Processor
Ram: 1 X 32GB ECC
HDD: 4 x 6tb WD Red's for the xpenology volume
1x 256 SSD for a datastore to run the VM's OS
1x sandisk cruzer to boot esxi on the host
How can i pass through the 4 x WD red into the xpenology VM? Will i need A sata controller for ESXI to be able to see the drives in the VM?
Thanks in advance, any help would be appreciated!
