Currently I have 2 Esx hosts Vsphere 4.2 with datastores residing locally.
Just added a NAS appliance (the purpose is to test vMotion and HA
Plan to boot up both ESX hosts from USB flash drive with Vsphere 4.1
Using the same Vcenter server for the new Host
(I won't use the local storage)
Just want to use the NAS appliance
I already have 2 virtual machines on the NAS appliance; will I still be able to access them?
I just want to test HA using the NAS as storage;
I don't want to lose the 4.2 configuration on the hosts
I will appreciate any recommandations or new ideas.
Let me know if I need to clarify anything
if you have the 2 hosts configured with HA under one cluster in vcenter, and your vms are on shared storage you should be able to do your tsting with HA.
Why do you think you would loose the host configuration? the config of the host would be on your flash drive where you installed esx.
