Hi all,
We have decided to go with RDMs as apposed to just attaching an iSCSI LUN directly to the guest VMs via the MS initiator. How i am unclear how I would go about setiing up RDMs in ESXi 5 so that the guess VM see the LUN ?
Side note : Our enviroment requires LUNs > 2 TB therefore we will be using RDMs in physical mode for our data partition for example guest VMs will have a S: partition attached via ESXi ISCSi software intiator and the C: drives for all VMs will reside in datastore 500GB All VMs are Win 2008 R2. This is where its confusing, Does the RDM (mapping file) and C: drive for guest VMs all need to reside in the same datastore -500 GB ?
Thanks
