This issue has been solved. See solution.

I wonder whether Symantec supports Puredisk 6.5 installation on top of VMware ESXi 3.5.x?  I went through the document and it says that PureDisk on top ESX server under certain conditions are supported, but didn't say a word about ESXi.  

Anyone has ideas?

If you mean PureDisk server

PureDisk servers (Storage Pool Authority / Content Router ... master server and media server, to say) can not be installed on any other OS than the "PureDiskOperatingSystem" which is rebranded SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 10SP1/SP2.

I have not heard about ESX server with conditions ... probably that is for the agent software on client?

 What I mean is create VMs in

 What I mean is create VMs in VMware ESXi Server and install PDOS and PureDisk inside VMs.  I saw documents announced that PureDisk in the VMs on top of ESX server is supported under certain condition.  But I can't find any document talking about ESXi.

Hey Rockey, Indeed good

Hey Rockey,

Indeed good point, we need to call out ESXi.
We actually do support ESXi since PD 6.5 but don't mention it in the compatibility guide.  We will make sure this is updated.

Thanks,
Stefaan
