Just out of curiosity, how many VM's are you running off the 3 hosts with the iSCSI, I have iSCSI right now and on host server.

I meant to say one host server.

We just started migrating that office to VMware a couple of weeks ago so they're only up to a dozen or so, but I don't think they'll have a problem putting another 30-40. The limits of how many you can put on the SAN, aside from the obvious disk space issues, is just disk I/O. None of my VMs are really heavy on the disk usage though. There's a couple of SQL servers, but they're not all that loaded down.

Hi,

Can you have 3 VMWare Host servers pointing to a SAN?

Three VMWare Host Servers?

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
