Good afternoon.

I haven't been on tomshardware for a looong time (about 5-6 years maybe)
But I am seeking help where microsoft or the internet cannot help (well from several days looking)

Anyways, I am trying to create a failover cluster in windows 2k8r2 in vm ware (as the title suggests)
I have made some vhd's in two small hdd's and then made then a vhd, created a cluster with an Ip address.

The two questions that I have is that in my failover, they can't seem to see the storage when i attempt to connect my storage to my failover via isci initiator...I am wondering what I am doing wrong.

when i have mimicked the lab again I will post a picture of what I mean.

I really hope this explains it well though :$

Hi, it sounds like you have a fairly complex environment here but I'm not entirely sure I understand your issue.

First, can you explain your current setup more clearly: You say:

What do you mean you made VHDs in HDDs? What is your current physical hardware, and where are the virtual machines. You also say you made a VHD after that, so do you have multiple instances of virtual machines. What is the relation of the VHDs in your cluster?

Next, I'm unclear on what your two questions are:

I only see one question in here and I'm not sure exactly what it is. What is the "they" you are referring to. Are you saying your virtual drives can't see the storage?

If you can clarify this better maybe I can find some helpful advice for you. If you have a visual representation of what you are trying to do that would probably help.
