Currently I have two hosts running ESX 5.1 and am looking to add a third. I have VCenter Server also installed. I do not have VMotion setup but want to plan for it. Currently my two hosts have 2x1TB SATA disk in them running raid 1+0.
From researching the forums my understanding is I would need to by a separate storage server with eith iSCSI or FC to get VMotion to work. Is this correct? I would not be able to use my storage on my hosts to store my VM's?
I've read about a few software solutions like the VSA appliance but I'm not clear if this would allow me to utilize my SATA drives on my host. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thanks.
