I tried the 3i install on a 32 bit laptop (dell lattitude DL820)running workstation 6.5. it gets to the install page (half orangish yellow, half black in the above picture) but it doesnt finish installing. it runs for hours. is it because its a 32 bit Host running workstation 6.5? I guess it should work but cant figure it out. have you seen this

Didn’t get that far with it – from my initial attempts the lack of performance I was getting from running it on my laptop was making it look impractical – I’ve been relying on ESX/OpenFiler running on cheap ESX PC’s like the HP D530 for my demo/lab setups.

You said “I will also try to get a ESX DRS cluster running under workstation with a couple of ESX hosts and shared storage over iSCSI using something like OpenFiler as shown here. won’t exactly be production performance, but useful for testing and demo’ing.”. Did you already try it?
I’m trying to do this. But I’m having many performance problems…
