Nested ESXi under Proxmox (alien.top)
 

I have a Dell R630 with Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2690 v4 .

I have Proxmox installed and I have installed 4 ESXi hosts. Now, when I create a cluster I have an error vCLS can't start - No host compatible and it mentions MWAIT is set to 0 but expected to be 1.

Is there a flag I can use in Proxmox to pass it to the ESXi?

It is enabled in the Dell BIOS. I have been trying to fix this for the past week and I just can't figure it out

Yes, i know. I bought 25 X 16G for $80 yesterday. I Just wasn’t sure about this model in particular.

R620 RAM upgrade question (redbytesite.com)
 

Would this be the correct ram to add to my R620?

I know I can find it cheaper on eBay but I am not 100% sure this is what I need for the upgrade.

I have 3 servers. 2 R620 and 1 R630. The fans are loud before post but after they are quite quiet. I have them in my garage so noise/heat is not an issue for me nor it the power consumption. If I were in EU that would be a different conversation. I run Proxmox on them in a cluster and nested 7 ESXi “servers” along with a bunch of other LXCs and VMs. I don’t think it’s a huge investment for less than $400. You could flash that H710p to IT mode and have the TruNas ( or any other one ) manage your HDDs.
Also at the same time reduce the fan speed. You can have so much fun and functionality with it. Keep in mind the everything resides on 1 physical server and you will not have any redundancy. However, Proxmox, ESXi and the like need at least 2(+ witnesses) or 3 to allow you High Availability ( HA ) and to be able to move your VMs. Having 1 hypervisor on the bare bones and nesting ( installing other Hypervisors) under it you could create a hell of a lab.
