I agree with the others - First things first - do you need HA? If yes, then you need to design an actual highly available system. Or should i create individual ISCSI target virtual disk for each ESXI host initiators. My concern is that multiple ISCSI ESXI host initiators using one virtual ISCSI SAN target disk will create a problem or not. Now the thing is that i have only created 1 virtual ISCSI Target disk of size 3 TB, and i have to add three ESXI host initiators to use the same target ISCSI disk of 3 tb. Now i have three physical Esxi Hosts and i have to give storage to all my ESXI hosts from this above created storage server comprises ISCSI windows SAN target.

Storage software is windows server 2012 and ISCSI targets are created on Windows Server 2012 R2. Same about dedupe.Īctually this is the storage created on Dell poweredge physical server with 3 TB space and RAID 10 configured. There's no cache and the only one you can use is Windows Storage Spaces flash cache which isn't exactly known for it's high performance. You can cluster it in theory but it will need more shared storage, which kind of compromises idea of spawning iSCSI stack on top of it.ģ).

Microsoft didn't bother to run any VMware supplied tests and ensure verification throws zero reported errors.Ģ) Windows iSCSI target is single point of failure. Waiting for the response from you guys here.ġ) Windows iSCSI isn't listed as compatible with VMware ESXi. Kindly suggests that my above mention ISCSI SAN Virtual disk can support multiple Esxi host initiators for data store requests respectively or not.

I have a scenario where i have 3 Esxi hosts and i have to create Datastores from above mentioned ISCSI SAN target with single Virtual disk I have configured Windows Server 2012 machine as ISCSI SAN target server and have created only 1 Virtual Disk with 3TB space.
