Hi,

To start, can you detail what are you attempting to do?

If trying to share files between servers then a shared file system needs to be used. Files are not shared on storage arrays by exposing the underlying LUN to multiple hosts.

Or are you setting up a cluster?

The NTFS filesystem isn't cluster aware (unlike GFS or VMFS for instance).

 

This means you CANNOT share SAN disk space between 2 (Windows) servers that aren't clustered. It will corrupt your filesystem/data.

 

Destroy the host group and give each server it's own virtual disk. The 2 virtual disks can be in the same disk group though.

Also, if you'd like to share a volume then simply assign one server as the share point and share it through Windows.
