multiple esx host, single img

Postby bradmg1 » Mon Aug 04, 2008 6:09 pm

Love the software. Vista and XP can connect to img files no problem. However, I am setting up an ESX test environment in workstation 6 and cannot get 2 ESX hosts to share a single img file. I have checked the box to enable clustering. What am I missing?

No, I am not missing EVERYTHING. If your saying VMFS is not a cluster aware file system you would be wrong.

You did not mention you're using VMFS :) I though you have problems with two virtualized OSes running inside different ESX machines.

OK, please send us StarWind log with failed second ESX initiator connect and we'll tell you why it cannot connect.

Thanks!
