Hi @team I have a question about Harvester. We have a Server Dell r620 with 32 core e 96GB Ram, actually we manage the VMs with ESXI 7. Can we install Harvester instead of esxi 7 or we have to install ISO harvester on a vm created by esxi? In the extreme, do we necessarily need esxi or can we completely replace it with Harvester? Thank you

the use case is to install on bare metal (and to replace ESXi)
and harvester covers some functional scope of vSphere

not sure if it's going to install well (model... compatbility) but yes, that's worth a try...
yes exactly ^^

Harvester perfect works and easily can single esxi vm load I have tested. You can use local disks as datastore. Do not touch existing Luns in case of multiple esxi and shared storage
