Hi WC,

Yes, VMFS allows multiple ESX (and ESXi) hosts access to the same data without causing issues. Just because you have multiple clusters does not matter. I would suggest this might not be the best way to go about designing your environment, but that would all depend on your requirements.

For more information on VMFS have a look at this PDF: http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/VMware-vStorage-VMFS-DS-EN.pdf

Cheers,
