VMware
HP fully supports the use of Windows and Linux as a guest OS on VMware ESX versions 2.5.x and
3.x. When running VMware, fibre channel HBAs are supported by in-box drivers supplied with ESX.
Windows and Linux FC HBA drivers are not used on the Virtual O/S.
NOTE:
You do not need to install the QLogic driver since it is shipped in-box with the ESX server.
To insure that your HBA is fully supported by HP and VMware, refer to one of the following websites:
