This graphic is very deceptive. The article never mentions using QEMU with VirtualBox, only KVM.

May this information useful for you.

@eleceng The setting that you want is called "AutoProtect"

Could also be an issue if a vendor-specific ISO was used to initially install ESXi. I ran into a similar problem with Dell; I had to get the Dell ISO from their downloads for the specific server model/service tag.

For 6.0 this is fine (you'll use this to get ASNC drivers). You can also add the dell VIB depot to get them this way also.
For 6.7 Dell has (thankfully) stopped shipping ASYNC drivers and moved 100% to inbox. It's all for 3rd party management VIBs. Honestly I've seen 3rd party VIBs be a culprit for updates before. I'd make sure you are updating the BIOS/FIrmware also when updating ESXi (People forget this sometimes).

@Dashrender That is where I was thinking a surveillance system would be a good use. I could use it as a backup repo for my VMs as well with a simple NFS share.

Just needing some things to do with it, maybe something the kid could eventually use. (years from now. . . she's almost 1 already.)

All these things basically go directly to what Scott said - make it a giant storage array.
