I'm a <a rel="follow" href="http://www.purecontent.com/blog/news/836/veteran-freelancer-offers-tips-to-content-writers/">Content freelancer</a> writer and for a while I have to admit that this satisfied to me.

I'm running ESX with an EqualLogic SAN. In fact I do believe that Wade in the first post was one of the presenters at our office last year :-) It's a small world! Anyway, I'm looking for a solution that will allow me to setup VM's in a cluster to support our SQL Server databases. So far I have not found the "eureka" solution, but I'm still optimistic that it's out there!

Bottom line though is that if a VM boots from a LUN that is on a storage device that is currently on VMware's HCL than that's all VMware requires. It should also be mentioned that even in a non-supported scenario VMware is usually good about providing best effort support. I would be surprised if the helpdesk did not try to help.
