Hello,

Once you go over 8 hosts per LUN, expect SCSI reservation conflicts, yes some SANs can handle up to 16 hosts per LUN, but 8 is a very safe number. You may want to device your machines up into clusters for your different groups... Test, Prod, etc. That way you do not mix and match and things can be under better control.

In some cases I setup a deployment servers that can see every LUN. They are generally low powered boxes designed just for deployment of the VM and then the subsequent vMotion to the final home.

Best regards,

Edward
