Make a single LUN can be used by multiple ESX hosts

Is it possible for a single LUN to be made usable by multiple ESX hosts at the same time?  For example, if you have an image or used by a vSphere environment requiring other vSphere environments in the data center access, you can put the image on a storage place where completely separate ESX hosts vSphere environments completely separate can see the same lun and clone the image or necessary?

If the logic unit number is locked by accessed by an ESX host will be lock expires when the ESX host is not an another ESX host in another environment vSphere allowing access to the logical unit number, or is the lock, as it is usable by a single ESX host, until the storage is reconfigured to make it usable by a different host?

Is there a better solution to this scenario?

Thank you

You can deploy both at the same time.  Locking occurs only for changes to metadata and only for the shooting of subsecond.  It is not required for the entire deployment process.

    I'm sorry.  I am new to Adobe.  The subscription following the computer, or is a login/password that can be used on any computer?

    Hi Adobewan,

    Subscription to Adobe works on your email credentials. You can use you credentials on any computer to access your application data. And you can subscribe to your application on two computers at the same time, but can not use two computers at the same time.

    You can also follow article: license and terms of use | Adobe for any clarification.

  • Can I use a fuse with host character model?

    By title - fuse models are compatible with Adobe default character animation? If this is not the case, the parts of the body or that can be renamed so that they can be used with Adobe animation character?

  • How can I use simultaneous multiple profiles without breaking the HTML default window manager?

    I have two Firefox icons, one with the ' - p 'MyProfile' - no-remote ' options and the other with the "- p"MyGirlfriendsProfile"- no-remote ' options." It works fine; We both have on separate pages connected with no conflict. However, when I click on a link or one HTML file in any other program, Windows tries to start a new process, rather than load the target in one of the two running, and I get the error "Firefox is already in running... ». I found the registry key 'HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\FirefoxHTML\shell\open\command', which provides the parameters for the manipulation of targets related to Firefox and tried adding 'Pei 'MyProfile' - no-remote', but it does not work.

    Is it possible I can get Windows 7 to open the links/files in my profile in the process that is already running?

    This has happened

    Each time Firefox opened

    == I started using separate profiles

    Impossible to send a link to an external program to a Firefox instance that is started with the - non-interrupteur remote.
    This switch converts than Firefox (undetectable) invisible instance for other programs.
    One solution is to drag the link in the window of Firefox.
    You only need to use the - No.-remote switch if you need to have two profiles open at the same time and I guess it won't happen in your case if you leave Firefox open and running all the time.

  • Why can't I click on some parts of my screen only if you are using firefox. I can not use the upper part of my scroll bar, but can use the background. I cannot click on the top of all sites, but he can click on any part of the site.

    If you use firefox, I can't use my up arrow of the page or click on the upper part of the scroll bar to make it move. Can I use the middle and the bottom of the bar. Also, I can't click on some items that are on a certain part of a web page (upper part). When I use firefox to open my email the same thing. I can't click on the upper part of the page e-mail delete tab, check e-mail tab, etc. However, I can click on it when I use internet explore so I don't know if it of a firefox issue or not.

  • Can I use Windows 7 restore disks to revert to Windows 7 from Windows 10?

    I made the mistake of upgrading to Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I tried to reverse the process for about a week now and the only way I "think" I might be able to do is to use Windows 7 original restore disks that I generated from my computer at the time of purchase.  Can I do this?  OR verification codes have already been deleted by my faulty 10 Windows Installer?

    Please advise... my install of Windows 10 makes me crazy.  Can I use my old disks of Windows 7 or Windows 7 original verification codes were invalidated by Microsoft when I "upgraded" to Windows 10.

    Please advise... my install of Windows 10 makes me crazy.  Can I use my old disks of Windows 7 or Windows 7 original verification codes were invalidated by Microsoft when I "upgraded" to Windows 10.

    Product keys do not become invalid. Moreover, if your restore disks contains an image of your installation then you will not have any key at all.

  • How to make an application that can be accessed by another application?

    Hello

    I want to make a request that can be used anywhere as if we were able to do using Applicationmenuitem in an earlier version of BB. With the help of applicationmenuitem, we were able to call functions of the application. I want to do something like this, how is it possible in the cascades?

    The framework of the invocation is the way to do it today.  Your application can register to treat a certain type of file (mime type or extension), and then may be an option to the user when they attempt to open this type of content from another application.

    There is no way to inject specific menu items that you can with ApplicationMenuItem.

  • HBA/LUN names - must be the same on hosts?

    Hello

    I have a question about LUN and CF. Hba name must be the same for the hosts to access the same LUNS? For a long time that I touched CF I'm afraid!

    Bascially, if lunA hostA access via hba1, its path name would be something like hba1:0:0:1 AND if hostB accesses lunA via hba2, it would be hba2:0:0:1. Is it a problem that the name is inconsistent? I thought I read somewhere that (conical?) names must be the same?

    Man I like NFS so much more than CF!

    Thanks a lot if someone could clariffy CF/LUN assignment of names for me

    Rich.

    What you're watching is good old CTD/CTL (controller, target, device/LUN) name.  It is just a reference to how you got where you are going.  Each device must be unique to a controller, and each LUN can be used once on a controller.  ESX tops out at 255 LUNS (see maximum configuration for more details on this).

    So you don't match at all on hosts.  However, it is advisable for your mental health to ensure that each data store that is presented to a host in a HA cluster is presented to guests.  This prevents the migration of VM problems.

    It also makes it easier to troubleshoot (esp. communicating with a group of dedicated storage) if each of the LUNS presented Gets the same number on each host.

  • How LUNS presented to an ESX host

    Dear team,

    How to confirm weather LUN is presented to an ESX host?

    We asked our team to SAN map a 900 GB LUN to one of the esx host, these people have done enough for their purpose (e.g. zoning part etc.) and confirm the same thing for us. We rescan the HBA, still, we are not able to see the same thing. SAN team asked us to reboot and check, but it's prodcurion esx box we will not be able to restart, so I want to confirm end VMware, is it possible to confirm weather esx is able to perceive the lun or the requested LUN is delivered correctly to an esx host, needs your help to understand this issue.

    concerning

    If you need create a vmfs on this lun data store, then you can simply follow the add storage wizard via - see this link for more information/screenshots: http://www.vmadmin.co.uk/vmware/35-esxserver/109-esxvmfsdatastore
