HP supports the use of Windows and Linux as a guest operating system on VMware ESX versions
2.5.x, 3.x and 4.x. When running VMware, Fibre Channel HBAs are supported by the in-box drivers
supplied with ESX. Windows and Linux FC HBA drivers are not used on the Virtual operating system.
NOTE:
You do not need to install the QLogic driver since it is shipped in-box with the ESX server.
To ensure that your HBA is supported by HP and VMware, see the following website: http://
www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/search.php.
