Re: How to share one SAN disk volume via iSCSI to two different hosts

>Hello,

So you need a single LUN to be shared on two VMs, right?

do the following:

1. make sure that both VMs are shutdown.
2. do not add the destination LUN to VMware as a datastore.
3. add that LUN directly into VM One as a RDM: virtual mode.
4. on the second VM, add a new hard disk.
5. select to use an existing hard disk and browse to its location.
6. on the "Virtual Device Mode" menu select to create a new SCSI controller like choosing SCSI (1:0), then click next.
7. Finish, now power up VMs one by one and test.

Ive tried this by myself in production a while ago and works fine.
