I have 2 VMware servers (ESX 4.0.0.208167) into cluster mode and I need to read VMFS partition by DataProtector software installed on a Windows machine; DataProtector disk agent is installed into VMWare server.
I read into DP white paper that it's necessary to mount VMFS partition with:
mount -t vmfs vmfs /vmfs
I ask myself if this operation can comprimise Vmware work.
Can you confirm this behaviour doesn't damage my virtual machines ?
If there are no problems, how can I keep available at Vmware servers boot this VMFS partition ? Perhaps Adding entry into fstab file ?
