I\u2019m going to call this a successful migration with a couple issues:<\/p>\n

1)  I didn\u2019t\/forgot to set the block size of the vmfs when I installed ESXi.  The default is 1MB.  This means my virtual disks are limited to 256GB.  Not a big deal for now.  I plan on putting a set of 2TB disks on the controller as well at a later point in time and I\u2019ll remember to set the block size to 8MB then.  As a workaround in the meantime, I\u2019m just using dynamic disks on Windows when I need more than a 256GB disk.<\/p>\n

2)  The Perc 6i card got hot.  It never failed or exploded, but it was hot enough to burn my finger the instant I touched the heatsink.  These things were meant to be in servers with airflow going over them, so that\u2019s understandable.  I installed a 40mm chipset cooler<\/a> to solve the heat issue.  Here are some pics:<\/p>\n

Start
\"perc6i_01\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Heatsink removed
\"perc6i_02\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Chipset sans heatsink
\"perc6i_03\"<\/a><\/p>\n

New heatsink mounted
\"perc6i_04\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Side shot.  Notice that I reused the clips from the original heatsink to attach the upgraded one.
\"perc6i_05\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This does take up the PCI slot immediately next to the controller, so keep that in mind if you decide to go this route.<\/p>\n

So now I\u2019m on ESXi 4.1 with 2TB of RAID10 storage.  I\u2018ve added a couple more servers and increased the memory on a couple others where before I was just completely maxed out in terms of memory capacity and couldn\u2019t do anything more.  Huzzah!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
