I recently purchased dell power edge for testing and now found some time to mess around with virtualization.
Found few videos on youtube, started with
– BIOS upgrade

– BMC upgrade

– Dell Remote Access Controller Firmware upgrade

ok after I realized that my server does not have DRAC card I’ve downloaded VMWare ESXi 5.5 and booted from CD.
All went OK just was not able to login to server at first. You need to enable SSH in setup. Also network setting I left on DHCP as I did not know how to setup fixed IP at first.
From there on all went well.
VMWare testing will go on this week, stay tuned.
If you have any questions leave comments, I might be able to help.
Cheers
