I wanted to get some hands on experience on how ESX in configured, so here is what i plan to do:
i) Use two physical desktops as my two ESX hosts.
ii) Use a switch
iii) Some sort of NAS
My thought i would connect two ESX hosts to the switch , connect NAS to the same switch and present NAS as a volume to the ESX hosts. I really want to test out failover capabilities of VMWare. This is highlevel. Is this something it is possible? I have installed standalone ESX's before, never installed in a cluster. Also i do not want to do all in a VM over VM like thing, want to have individual hardware. Can someone please provide pointers how to do this?
