Need some info on E3-SSD-2-32 from SyS
Anyone has a E3-SSD-2-32 from Soyoustart in France and can tell me if VMware ESXi is available in the installation list?
Their site shows VMware ESXi available for E3-SSD-2-32 in Canada, but not in France and I'm not sure where's the typo as normally by being the same server the supported software should be the same.
Thanks!

ESXi 5.0 is the only option.
Okay, thanks!
Their site does not list that version for France, but lists 5.5, 6.0 and 6.5 for Canada. Pretty weird.
I wonder if 5.0 can be upgraded
Could probably open a ticket if one isn't, I'm sure they could add it if it should be there. The one I checked wasn't the exact same server, so it may vary.
Yea, I'm thinking maybe it's different hardware between France and Canada, but same CPU so that's why it happens to be different. I have a ticket opened with them as I need at least 6.0, can't work with 5.x.
Yes, you can upgrade ESXi, you download the zip upgrade and it locally.
One thing to note is that unless you buy a server with hardware raid, esx will see the disks individually. (JBOD)

I know how to upgrade ESXi, the problem is about the hardware limitations that I may encounter. Switching from version 5.0 to 6.5 cannot be done directly. I must do incremental upgrade to versions 5.5, 6.0 and then 6.5 which may or may not work, depending on the hardware support.
Next, as far as the RAID is concerned, I don't care that much if it sees the drives individually or not. In fact I'd prefer the disks to be different datastores rather than one combined.
