I’ll post a separate article on how to run pre-compiled VM images on Proxmox. Please note that I’ll not use the ESXi image, I’ll use the ISO as it is easier to install the VM that way. The installation went quiet smoothly and I’m still using it for a while.Īlright, I think it’s time to get the installation started. I created a backup of my VMs on ESXi and started the purge.

Somehow the replacement found me on a company workshop. I have an EOL Dell Workstation which works fine but ESXi doesn’t support it anymore. Mostlikely my problems were caused by unsupported hardware. Other issues I had with ESXi were: buggy frontend, no support for rs232usb dongles and the list can go on till the morning.Īll in all I don’t have a problem with VMWare products, they work fine. And oh boy I really needed those updates as I had loads of bugs and annoying features I wanted to get rid of. I couldn’t find an “easy” way to update/upgrade the ESXi system without taking down my router VM. Back in those days I ran a linux VM that was basically my router/firewall/proxy, everything. Let’s just say I got mad about what ESXi doesn’t offer: inline upgrade. It doesn’t mean that I was not satisfied with what ESXi has to offer. Of course it has some limitations, but that only limits “how much” hardware you can use and limits the use of some enterprise features which you might not need.Īfter an extensive use I realized that this relationship has to end.

For home and study purposes you can get an ESXi licence for free directly from VMWare. So I used to run ESXi 6.5 I think and I used a free licence.
