My Cousin Ramon is on the correct here [IMAGE], you could use a single common masking view for the ESX cluster.   Within that view you can use cascaded initiator groups, each host with it's own initiator group contained in the parent for the cluster;  The storage group for this masking view can then be used to present a template datastore luns to all nodes in the cluster;  Alternatively you would need to create multiple maksing views, one for each nodes IG using the storage group containing the template datastore lun.   Ramons way is easiest to mantain
Hi,  I have a large VMware environnement with several clusters.  I want to be able to assign a single "template" lun to each of the VMware cluster.  The customer tried to add the "Template" lun to the SG of each cluster, but after the second, it sais that the volume is allready assigned elsewhere, in another View.  If anyone has an idea how to do so, it would be helpful.  Thank you,  Christian
Is it possible to assign a lun to more than 2 masking View
