ASG, VMWare, pvscsi, vmxnet?

Mpegger
Tried to search for information in regards to running the latest Astaro v8 (non-beta) in VMWare Workstation using the virtualized scsi and NIC and could not find any recent information.

So simple question, does Astaro currently support VMWare's pvscsi controller and vmxnet(3) nic in the standard ISO, or only in the VM package?

If it doesn't support either in the ISO or VM package, should I use the standard LSI scsi adapter along with the e1000 nic?

    By recent, do you mean the ISO version or VM package version?

    If ISO, I have the v8.0. Is that new enough that it includes the drivers to detect the virtual hardware, or do I need to get a newer ISO build?

    The older postings I was going through seemed to indicate that the VM package version has the VMTools (drivers) included, though it defaults to the flexible nics which seems to have very poor speeds in Astaro.

    I never use the pre-packaged image... I opt to do a clean install, thus letting me tweak all the settings.

    I recommend that you use the latest ISO build, http://download.astaro.com/ASG/v8/software_appliance/iso/latest_asg_v8_software.iso   -- currently this image is a 8.301 build.

    Forgot to mention, the install will automatically detect that it's being installed on VMware and will configure the tools all on it's own... it's a very easy install.

    The reason I use the SLES machine type is that is the exact Linux source that ASG Linux is built from.
