I'll have a look when I get home. It did do it before the license key was entered, and as I said, the hardware is the same as the enterprise licensed ones that do work.

Just to clarify, did the trial expire before you entered the license key or did you enter the license key before the end of the trial period or you have seen the same problem in both cases with your license key ?
I would tend to agree that this should be investigated with VMWare if you have a support contract as it has not happened for us (DLockers and myself) and I have not read about it on various forums even when searching. I suspect the key is not giving you the full entitlement for some reason.
Would still be very interested in that screenshot though.
Also, when you say the test and production servers are the same, you do mean thay have the same processors, ram, motherboards as well as the same nics/sas controllers ?. Just confirming is all.

Both cases.
Screenshot may not happen as I've had to give the machine back for use elsewhere. But they were all DL360 G7s with identical hardware, with the exception of the ones in live use had a lot more RAM.
It's not much of an issue anyway as I can create "labs" using resource pools on the live systems, was just curious. I'll get a new Key next time I have a newish piece of hardware spare and maybe see if I can figure it out. If so I'll post the root cause/resolution in the shiny new ESXi thread.
Besides...has sort of hijacked the thread a tad.

Strange, please do keep the ESXi thread updated with your findings. Would love to know why this has happened.
Yep, sorry DLockers. To answer your original question, I would go with WHS 2011 and drive pool for now unless you particularly wish to explore the various other tech like iSCSI/ZFS etc. I find it does me very well.

OP
I forgot to update this.
I'm running Open Indiana and Napp-it to give me ZFS. Working great at the minute, dead simple.
Practised a drive failure and yanked a drive, silvered, all data fine and redundant again
Edit: Using WHS 2011 for SSTP VPN, backing up PC's and PS3 Media/SABNZB tasks.

Very nice. Maybe I should have guessed with the youtube tutorials you have kindly put in the ESXi thread.
