Hello,
I've installed successfully VMware ESXi 5.1 on my Apple Mac Pro (model 5,1). It's fully supported by VMware.
Unfortunately it looks like the result is unusable as a quiet desktop, because ESXi 5.1 fails to regulate fan speed: the tower is now too loud.
Is there any way to make ESXi 5.1 properly regulate fan speed?
Installation process:
- removed every HDD and SSD from my system
- pluged in an old spare HDD for testing
- booted on the ESXi 5.1 install CD
- installed ESXi on the HDD
- rebooted
I had great hopes into ESXi, in order to use vt-d / vt-x for desktop virtualization (Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, and windows), But if ESXi can't regulate fan speed, it's all ruined.
