Deploy C3160M3 as a Shared Storage

[amri]

Hi,

Need an assistance & advice on how I'm going to deploy my C3160 as a Shared Storage... I currently have 2 C240 server installed with vSphere 6 and I would like to link both C240 server to the C3160 (Shared Storage)... tq

Hi,

the UCS C3160 act as a default server with a lot of local storage.

That said, the simplest option is to install Linux on the C3160 and create a NFS share that is used as NFS-Datastore on the ESXi hosts.

Please be aware that there is no high availability option integrated, if the C3160 fails or you have to reboot the linux system - your NFS Datastore is not accessible.

Kind Regards

Ulrich
