Dell R440 running VMware ESXi 7.0 compatibility with R81.20 Security Gateway

Andrew-OCD — Mon, 12 Feb 2024 13:14:10 GMT

Dear Check Mates,

Does anybody know of any problems with running a Virtual R81.20 Security Gateway on a Dell PowerEdge R440 running VMware ESXi 7.0 update 2?

The server has both 2 Dell NICs and 2 Broadcom NICs.

When I check the hardware compatibility list I see the R450 listed as being fine for the Security Gateway in it's own right but not the R440.

I also see the VMware vSphere 7 as being compatible for running a Security Gateway or Virtual Edition.

I wanted to check if anybody out there has any experiences good or bad with such?

Best regards,

Andrew

If you're running in VMware, the HCL for VMware is what matters.
