Even if it magically could, since the PERC HBA won't let you present the individual drives as a JBOD, you can't use raw device mappings to attach the drives to the VM. It doesn't even matter whether or not ESXi can parse the file system it will not be able to assemble the RAID array since it doesn't know what LVM is in the first place. If iSCSI is not the way to go, then Samba or what have you will have to suffice. If you want to present the data natively to a VM, then (based on what I understand it is you want) your best bet is probably to present the volumes you want as iSCSI from the old machine and have the initiatior in the VM map them of course that will mean that you can't have them mounted on the old machine as well, unless the file system on these volumes is a cluster file system. If you want to present the data to ESXi, then your only option is NFS.

The only way to have either ESXi or a VM running on it access the data without moving the data temporarily off those drives is via the network. I interpreted your post as asking for a way to do just that-did I misunderstand? There is no way to move the disks into the machine running ESXi and still have either ESXi or a VM running on it access data on those disks. My real question is this: Since I've already got ESXi running on the PowerEdge, is there a way (through SSH or otherwise) that I can verify my disks are accessible (eg, verify the superblock) before I start mucking about with ESXi passthrough? I'm also aware that once I get direct drive access from the controller, I'd also need to set up VMware to hand that drive to the VM, unmolested, to run the 'md' raid. I bought the SAS 6/ir knowing it's a HBA, but once I got it in the system, I'm not presented a 'dumb' controller - it wants me to setup a RAID as well. Using a PERC, I"d have to create a RAID0 array for each disk, losing my data. I know the PERC controllers don't support "pass-through". New system is Dell Poweredge 2950 Gen III, with controllers: PERC6E, PERC6I, SAS 6/ir. Old system is a home-built P4, onboard SATA controller. I'd like to completely migrate that RAID over to my ESXi host, without losing the data on the RAID. I currently run a bare-metal Linux server that has a 5x1TB RAID5.
