How to setup to share local storage

[Hiro1205]

We have two enclosures with Esxi installed.

They are Esxi-A and Esxi-B

Since Esxi-A has more storage capacity, we would like to store all the virtual OS images on Esxi-A's local storage.

So, could you please tell me how to set up Esxi-B to access Esxi-A's local storage from Esxi-B?

Best Regards,

That's not possible in the sense that you seek. When using storage local to an ESXi host, only that host may access it unless other "layers" are used.

Hey, hope you are doing fine

You can't share local storage across esxi hosts.

You can pool local storage with solutions such as vSAN, but that has some very specific requirements In terms of hosts, controllers, disks, networking....
