PowerEdge 2950 III & ESXi 6

Just to let everyone know that I was able to install ESXi 6 on our 2950 III PowerEdge server successfully and I was also able to connect it to our MD3000i SAN without any issues. They are both running without any issues.

Yes, they are not on VMWare HCL, and they are at their EOL support but they still work great :emotion-2:

cheers

Thanks for providing the information, was it a new install or an upgrade?

ESXi 6.5 Update 2 also works on the 2950 III, but not version 6.7. It seems version 6.5 is the end of the line.

Hi, your server is way too outdated it won't support ESXi  I think. Should you  still decided to go ahead and look for one, here's the link 
https://dell.to/3KKTh7o and I'm thinking you should look for another model like R640 since your isn't supported.
Also as of now                     
VMware-VMvisor-Installer-6.5.0.update03-18071574.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A08.iso -> this can't be found but you can find          
"This is DellEMC Customized Image of VMware ESXi 6.5 U3"
"Dell Version: A09, Build# 19092475"
