vm disk mirroring about 2 san/local subsystems - doable?

[jmcclymont]

hello all,

i'm thinking about this:

i have 2 esx 3.0x server with 2 san or local storage subsystems. the ha and drs function is enabled.

i create a new vm and create one disk on the first storage and a second disk on the second storage. this both disk are used for a raid-1 (mirroring) installation in the vm. under windows i use the diskmanager and under linux the lvm.

has anybody experiences or information? theoretical it should be work, but might be it gives issues with the timing when the storage's are under heavy load.

grateful for statements

and greetings from germany

jeff

thx
