VMWARE ESX/Infrastructure

Hello everyone, I have registered and was able to install ESXi 3.5 on a 32-bit platform, but currently having issue on how to obtain the infrastructure client, to manage the ESX.

I am new to vmware, and not sure if I am doing this correctly.

Connect to the ESX host with your web browser. You download it from your ESX server.

Yes that works, I wonder why I can't ping the server, apparently one of my 2950 switch was off

Although it looks like the client is not compatible with Windows 7 64-bit, I guess that's what the vsphere/esx 4.0 is for.

I attempted to run it on compatibility mode and it's a no go, I'm using ESX 3.5, does anyone knows what scsi drivers Windows XP needs, ESX and Storage is currently installed on an HP Proliant DL 360 G3, using the old SCSI HD on a raid 5.

I download this file vmscsi-1.2.0.4.flp, and mounted it off the floppy but it didn't worked, Win XP setup still throws off a cannot find the hard-drive.

Thanks!

The link below is the closest I have found so far, but it's not working.

Anyway I decided to use Ubuntu for my clients, just for ACL testing.

It's working now, just had to try another driver.
