Appendix A: I/O Adapter Compatibility Guide
267
www.vmware.com
VMware may add support for drivers and devices between releases of the product;
check the VMware Web site for current information.
The ESX Server device drivers deliver high performance device I/O. Disk and Ethernet
devices that are not supported by ESX Server drivers may work using console
operating system based device I/O. Console operating system I/O performance is
significantly slower than that of ESX Server device drivers. VMware discourages using
console operating system devices for production deployment. They are intended to
be used for migration and similar purposes.
The detailed list below shows actual vendor chip sets and adapters that VMware
believes are compatible with the currently supported drivers. Although we have been
careful in compiling the list, we have not tested all of these devices and cannot
warrant that they all work. There may also be devices that are not listed but that will
work with these device drivers.
Please contact VMware with any questions about current and planned device
support.
Linux Driver Compatibility
While the ESX Server itself is not derived from Linux, many ESX Server device drivers
are based on Linux driver source code. This enables VMware to more easily support a
wide range of high performance devices. VMware typically modifies these drivers for
one or more of the following reasons:
• To make the driver compatible with ESX Server
• To tune the driver for performance
• To add I/O resource governing or QoS support to the driver
• To fix generic bugs in the driver
It is not possible to simply load existing Linux device drivers into ESX Server.
Changes to the driver source are contributed back to the Linux community.
VMware Certification
VMware certifies that specific systems and components are compatible with ESX
Server. Through its Preferred Hardware Partner Program, it works with leading server
vendors to ensure that appropriate configurations of their current and future server
products are certified with ESX Server products.
