Raw device with MSCS

Hello,

i can't understand what is the best practice to manage a MSCS cluster into vmware enviroment.

 

My Esx 4.1 infrastructure is composed by a 4 cluster with 10 esxi hosts. A lot of vm has into a MSCS cluster with Raw device ( 240 raw device datastore) and i have a lot of performance issue and  a lot of errors in /var/log/vmkernel with I/O failed.

 

I can't understand what is the best practice of vmware to manage a lot of MSCS cluster into Vms with Raw Device.

 

This is actual procedure when i create new vm with MSCS:


- I create vm in datastore

- In storage i present a  NEW LUN at all Hosts for that Esxi cluster as RAW device
- Install MSCS service

 

I think that procedure is stable but it isn't correct, so i don't want present a LUN on a single host because i want keep redundancy of vm.

 

 

 

Thank You..
