It will work, but it's not very fast indeed. anyway i think the lefthand solution is definitely a cool solution for small companies.

Wouldn't be recommended - if it does work at all. 3rd party mashups like this will lead to all kinds of problem let alone be incredibly slow.

Have 'shared' local storage on one host for the purpose of vMotion/HA is kind of defeating the point really. I would recommend to stay well away from doing anything like this... sorry!

Hi All,

I have 3 ESX 3.5 Servers and VC2.5. I have a spare 300Gb in local storage. Is it possible for me to share the space for the other ESX Servers to see? I am sure it is not possible but was wanting some input.

Thanks,
