Hello FenasiKerim,

Your last post made everything clear.

Indeed, the idea of C with VMFS as a shared storage is unfortenately not possible.

A VMFS on a ESX(i) host is always local storage.

Theoratically and practical you can build a VM that offers storage by means of iSCSI

or NFS. Going that way, you have a shared storage (I use that in my homelab)

I am curious why you want to test vMotion. vMotion is the process

of copying memory blocks from one ESX host to another. The amount

of traffic depends on many factors.

Some suggested reading on the subject, a bit old: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/usenix_vmotion.pdf

On this page all documentation: http://www.vmware.com/support/pubs/vs_pages/vsp_pubs_esxi40_i_vc40.html

Suggestions: The Introduction and Getting Started papers
