my adaptec 5805 works perfectly in esxi.
what I want to know is can I install something on esxi to enable a guest windows vm to be able to open and use the adaptec storage manager???
Your question is not really clear , but if i understood you well you can install windows os on the vm and setup a shared storage and add any permission u want to it .
Best regards
Yours, Oscar
what I want is to be able to install the adaptec storage manager to one of my vm's and it be able to make changes/monitor an array attached to the host not the guest.
