Good morning,
I recently installed a Hpe server with Esxi 6.7 update 3; it runs five VMs. The datastore has been created through Iscsi on a LUN created in a Synology Nas, dedicated to provide the storage space for the VMs.
We have three Synology nas (two in high availability and one for backup/disaster recovery) so the storage system is secure and reliable.
However due to budget limitations we have only one virtualization server; so we thought to reuse the old server (a Hp 385 Gen 7) as a secondary virtualization host, to use only in emergency situations.
Esxi 6.7 doesn't support the CPU of the old server so i installed Esxi 6.5 .
Is it possible to configure Esxi 6.5 on the same Iscsi target (so on the same LUN) used by the main virtualization server? Will it find the already created datastore? What about the registration of the existing Virtual machines?
Thank you.
