Hi I have few Intel SSDs each 40GB. I want to configure these SSDs in software RAID (I dont have hardware RAID controller) and then create a VM on this. VMWare ESXi does not support the installation of GUI utilities directly on the host, or into the VMWare VCenter server or VSphere client. However, the Windows RAID Web Console 2 (RWC) installed onto a separate physical Windows system, or running on a Windows Guest operating system inside the.

Personally, I just make one large volume. At the same time, it can't be too big or you could have issues with the VMFS partition ESXi will create for you. I'd use your raid controller to create multiple volumes if you have over 2 TB of space, but if you have less than that, then one large volume will work. ESXi will install and will use the remaining space within the LUN for a VMFS volume. You can manually format remaining LUNs with VMFS using the vSphere Client later on. The enterprise setup as you are asking about varies greatly. Local space is almost never used for virtual machines because it cannot host VMs if you intend to use vmotion, ha, or any other feature which would require sharing the VMFS volumes.
