MSCS in VMWARE using iscsi within the guest os and MS iSCSI software initiator
- Hi there guys,
We have a discussion going on at our office, and we're in a debate as to whether the above is supported by Ms / Vmware - we cannot find any supporting documentation for it, hopefully someone can shed some light for us. we know it works we've implemeneted it several times, but now we would just like to know - with offical docs to go with it - that it is / isn't supported
Cheers

With ESX 3.5 Update 1 SAN Disks are supported with MSCS. However, it appears SAN referes to Fiber Channel only. iSCSI is not supported for MSCS.
