We've got two ESXi V4 servers in a HA/DRS cluster, with each of them having one FC-HBA and access to the same single Datastore. The cluster is managed by vCenter 5.5.0
I've added a second FC HBA to just one of these servers, and after reboot the HBA sees the LUN just fine. But when I go to add new storage, there's none available.
I'm trying this via: vCenter -> select host -> configuration -> storage -> Add Storage -> StorageType=Disk/Lun
My plan was to have a VM on that one server, which would access the new datastore for a backup repository. I was planning on having the VM locked to that server, and didn't expect any HA migrations etc.
Now I'm getting the feeling that this storage asymmetry in a cluster isn't supported. Any ideas?
Thanks....Lyle
