Have I wasted £70?
I used a MacBook as my daily machine, at least for now anyway but I have had a N40L for a while now and haven't used it because the lack of a vSphere client in OSX.
I got a 8GB stick of ram and a USB stick to install ESXI 5.5 and the plan was to have a few different VMs on a 120GB+ SSD like Ubuntu and a OSX server for time machine. Possibly even some WindowsServer installs for testing but it all fell flat when I didn't check for OSX support.
I then bought a HP RSA card for £70 which I was hoping would help manage my N40L better and also allow me to control my ESXI setup remotely so I can turn on/off different virtual machines but I am having issues getting the virtual KVM to even work on OSX.
Looks like a problem with Java but even if I do manage to get it working it's not going to do what I want is it?
Tempted to give up and sell my N40L now as the upgrades so far have cost more than I paid for the box and I'm not even finished :-/
Anyone got the remote card in their box and is it worth the £70 for ESXI or should I return it or Amazon whilst I can.
Thanks
