I spoke with Dell when ordering but they only offered the full blown license for a fee. As this was a trial and a very specific application, the VMWare person i spoke with advised that i could use the Hypervisor to get going, and that wasn't an option from Dell. I have spoken to Dell Tech Support seince, when i was having some initial issues with the ISO image, and they were aware of what i was doing but didn't offer a different image as a solution.
In my application, it's not a critical path operation at this juncture. If VMWare isn't compatible with RAID, I can live without that. Note i didn't seen in the config description it was set up with RAID. At the same time, i don't think i have seen choices during the install process where i noticed two separate drives.
