Thank you for the help. It seems the vmware boxes dont see each other? I can manage both from vcenter. I do not have a san or nas. Figured I could share storage on one with both? TIA
Not unless you use vSAN or VSA!

No other options? I only have 2 esxi computers, need 3 for vsa and dont have web client, not enough ram. What I was trying to do was upload my iso images and be able to use that on both machines for installing.
You cannot share storage between ESXi hosts, unless you use vSAN or VSAN, or third party products....
But you can use NFS on Windows, Linux, or inexpensive NAS!
and then share that single NFS datastore between both ESXi servers.
So create a NFS export, on Windows, Linux or NAS....present to ESXi (both servers).

Hey thanks. Took a bit of head scratching but did it. Have a HD on another server and will put my isos on that with that iso maker and connect that way. I HOPE... Just dont have the horse power for a nas or san. thanks again. to bad cant give 500 more points
