MD3000i and ESXi 5.0

hi there,

I've been asked to setup 3 ESXi 5.0 servers to use with an MD3000i (essentials plus).

Doing some research this morning I have found that the MD3000i is NOT listed on the HCL for vpshere 5.0

I was looking for some advice on what the best course of action is. Reading other threads it appears that this should work but I'm a bit concerned that it might not be officially supported.

Would I be better off installing ESXi 4.1 instead?

Thanks for any advice on this.
