@interslice should be able to format a USB device and mount in on the local vmware console. Heard its been done before, I haven't tried. 1 hour ago
@interslice ESXi can not do USB storage for VMs. full version of vmware has a service console (currently) that is linux based. 1 hour ago
@interslice VMware vSphere 4 best practices for NetApp: http://bit.ly/a3c9mn . Communities are also a good source 1 hour ago
