VMware vSphere 4 - Datastore:
Need help guys,
I'll keep it simple, I have (x2) HP ProLiant DL360 G5 both running ESXi 4.0. How can I enable the internal drives to show on both systems as a datastore share? The first server cannot see the second server's datastore! Any easy solution?
Each Server has ESXI installed along with an 'HP Serial Attached SCSI Disk' internally!
I cannot add storage via the 'Disk/LUN or NFS' as the disks are internal within each ESXI system
Kind regards,
Michael

Correct...any SAN is the only way to have shared storage across multiple hosts, but to answer the question in this post, there isn't a way to make local storage in 1 host, be 'seen' in a 2nd host.

Also if you run Vcenter, you can add both of your ESX (or ESXi) servers into it and manage both from one console. Very convienient.
