  • 1.  Possible to create HA on cluster

    Hi any idea if it is possible to create a cluster where one ESX is using FC while the other is running ISCSI can the vm residing on this cluster perform vmotion?

    Hi

    For HA to work the servers need access to common storage so if they can both see the saem storage it wont work

    Regards

    if both esx can access the sam LUN but one of them uses ISCSI while the other uses FC will HA still work as both ESX still can access the same datastore

    The LUN would appear as two datastores in your vCenter inventory (one via iSCSI, the other via FC), with unique GUIDs and would not pass vMotion validation.

    I really don't quite understand. What is the difference between common storage and same storage? I got confused back there. Sorry about that.
