I realise that no currently-produced Apple kit is on the vSphere HCL.
My question is whether you have any experience of the new Mac Pro
with vSphere, including multiple NICs and FC connections. The response
from our local suppliers has been "let us know how you get on".
Jonathan-
I've checked internally and on the VMware community pages. No one is
able to get ESXi to install and run on the 6,1 MacPro so far. We are
working on supporting the next major version of ESXi on the MacPro 6,1,
but unfortunately, not specifically 5.5. Additional to your question,
the MacPro 6,1 has no internal expansion slots, so you are limited to
the built-in: 2 GigE ports, 4 USB3, and 6 Thunderbolt ports, so it
wouldn't have the expansion you are looking for.
William Lam has gotten 5.5 to work on the Mac Mini and has a blog about
it at virtuallyghetto, and the old MacPro (5,1) is supported and has 4
PCIe slots. You can find various models at BHPhotovideo.com.
