Share Logical Drive in D3940 with multiple Blades

Hi,

Does anyone know if it is possible to map a logical drive in a D3940 disk enclosure to multiple 480 blades (in the same enclosure) to create a shared storage for ESXi?

As far as I know, it is not. The idea is that you would use the D3940 and create a VSA or VSAN cluster with the mapped disks. This has been HPE's stance with other product lines (Apollo) so I would not expect something different.

This is not possible, you have to use the VSA or thomething else.
