Compellent

Hi

We have a SC4020 storage compellent which is currently attached to VMWare.

On the datastore there are 2 share points

FileShare1 and FileShare2

A VM called "FileServer1" running windows server 2012 R2 is connected to the storage compellent through ISCSI.

In Server 2012 R2, File Explorer I can see FileShare1 and FIleShare2

I want to upgrade the VM server to 2022 but  I have a few questions.

Can you have more than one server access the datastore share points FileShare1 and FileShare2 without altering or erasing the data?

If not? is it possible to detach the existing server and attach a new server to share points FileShare1 and FileShare2 without formatting those sharepoints?

Thanks
