Replaced Mobo in whitebox ESXi Host

[vGeek]

Hello all,

My 1st post here! After many months of lurking this site for information, I finally decided to join.

So here goes my first post -

I currently run a whitebox build running ESXi 5.1 and it runs great on my current Hware.

My spec -

Gigabyte PH67-DS3-B3 Motherboard
Intel Core i5 2500 CPU
16GB Corsair XMS3 Memory

Now, I can't pass through hardware to VM's due to no Intel VT-d support on the motherboard, so I would like to upgrade the motherboard without destroying my ESXi set up. Can I simply swap the board and carry on or am I likely to run into problems? I am looking at another Gigabyte Board which will be very similar.

If anyone has any advice it would be very much appreciated.

TIA

Hi vGeek!

Hardware is detected and initialized on each boot so you should not have an issue.

Just be sure to backup before doing any changes.

Excellent. I'll give it a try.

Thanks.
