ESXi, running on VT-d-enabled hardware, has support for DirectPath I/O passthrough – but it is far from simple and/or straight forward to use it directly with physical drives… Thus, it makes sense to give unRAID complete and absolute control of the NAS hard-drives it will manage. The main function of unRAID is to manage storage.unRAID runs from a USB flash drive as its boot media, and persistent memory for configuration and plugins, but ESXi doesn’t offer a “boot a VM from USB flash drive” option, nor does it support simulating a USB flash drive as a VM booting media.So, what are the challenges in running unRAID as a VM? And what are some of the requirements I have from this set up and migration process? Install unRAID NAS OS as a VM on ESXi host to improve resource utilization of your home server!
