    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;You can share the datastores between the clusters/vCenter without problem. And about the unregister/register task, just remember to shutdown the VM on old cluster before unregister from inventory.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Here is a blog post showing that you can shared datastore between clusters/vCenters: &lt;A href="http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/04/30/with-vsphere-5-0-and-ha-can-i-share-datastores-across-clusters/" title="http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2012/04/30/with-vsphere-5-0-and-ha-can-i-share-datastores-across-clusters/"&gt;With vSphere 5.0 and HA can I share datastores across clusters?&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i have 2 clusters. One is in vSphere 5.5 (&lt;STRONG&gt;ClusA&lt;/STRONG&gt; - 6 esxi) and the other is in vSphere 6.0 (&lt;STRONG&gt;ClusB&lt;/STRONG&gt; - 6 esxi). Each cluster has own LUN's (we have EMC vnx 5500 storage) and own vCenter. The goal is migrate all the VM's from 5.5 to 6.0. I &lt;SPAN class="short_text" lang="en"&gt;&lt;SPAN class="hps"&gt;thought to &lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;present (share) &lt;SPAN style="text-decoration: underline;"&gt;the LUN's of ClusA to ClusB&lt;/SPAN&gt;, so that i from &lt;STRONG&gt;vCenter_ClusA&lt;/STRONG&gt; stop the VM's, remove them from inventory, and from the &lt;STRONG&gt;vCenter_ClusB&lt;/STRONG&gt; add to inventory the VM's. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Questions:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Can i simply unregister the VM's fron 5.5 environment and register them in 6.0 environment?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Sharing LUN's between 2 cluster can be a problem? Consider after migration the ClusA will be shutdown.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Would this configuration cause datastore corruption because two separate vcenters accessing same datastore?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks for the answer and sorry for my bad english!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Please help me!&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
