How can I configure the SAN as much be access from the guest OS

Hello... first post ever here so I apologize if this was already asked, but so far I can't find an answer.

We have a 12 to SAN we would like to share and all the virtual machines on the virtual domain.

The SAN is a dell powervault MD3200i.

I read everything on iSCSI configuration, but what it feels like to give esxi host access to the LUNS for vmotion and other features of vcenter (made).

We need is our access as a guest VM OSs logic 12 TB of drive as a drive to share space.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

P.S. I tried connecting to the San of the guest OS via iSCI but once the MS iSCSI initiator will connect and connect to the IQN name local disk VM management cannot see the new volume/drive.

  1. Create a LUNa
  2. Add LUNa to the "storage group" in the SAN
  3. Add Datastore (LUNa) in vCenter formatted as a VMFS (datastore-LUNa)
  4. create a virtual machine.
    1. Installation of the OS, etc.
    2. Add the disk (vmdk)
      1. Select location "Datastore-LUNa.
      2. Maximum size, or you can create several small VMDK in "datastore-LUNa.
      3. Select another SCSI controller:
        1. OS (vmdk1) = 0:0 [(datastore-LUN-OSs)]
        2. Data1 (vmdk1) = 1:0 [(datastore-LUNa)]
        3. data2 (vmdk2) 2:0 = [(datastore-LUNa)]
        4. etc.
      4. log on to the operating system invited
      5. It Manager
        1. turn on the drive
        2. initialize
        3. etc.
    3. Activate the "File server" role in the guest virtual machine OS
      1. create shares as much as you want!
