Hi All,

Is there any possible way to Map the datastore created by VSAN to another physical server as like normal LUN?

Is that possible to map the VSAN datastore as like RAW device to a virtual machine in same cluster?

kind help is much appreciated.

Greetings!

This would be possible in vSAN 6.5. I would suggest you to wait for another couple of days to avail the vSAN 6.5 GA version.

With vSAN 6.5 iSCSI Service, you can create a iSCSI LUN out of a vSAN datastore and present it to any physical server as like normal LUN.

Also, It's possible to map iSCSI LUN created out of vSAN datastore as a RAW device to a virtual machine in the same cluster or in some other cluster.


Here is a blog post - What is new for Virtual SAN 6.5? - Yellow Bricks
