Clustered VMDK Support Missing

Hello,

i want to use the new cool feature "clustered vmdk" to build a microsoft windows failover cluster. I tried to create a new datastore with clustered vmdk support. On the New Datastore page my device lists the attribute Clustered VMDK Supported set with No. I have no idea with the clustered vmdk is not supported with my device.

My storage is a EMC Unity 300 with OE 5.0 and connected via fc. Vcenter and all ESXi are 7.0.

Has anybody an advice for me?

Best reguards,

Matthias

According to VMware Compatibility Guide - Storage/SAN Search the Unity does not support the "Clustered VMDK" feature.

According to the Dell EMC support required SCSI3 WEAR functionality will become available in OE 5.2.

OE 5.2 was released a few month ago and there is a support for clustered VMDK there. I’m successfully running file server cluster on it.
