In a virtualized environment, how do I share a RAID-5 array from the host across the network?
Let’s say you have a well-equipped server on which you want your new virtual machines (VMs) to run. You want to ensure that network shares that are created within the file/print server VM are available to other users throughout your network. In this case, all you need to do is attach the VM’s virtual network interface to a virtual network that is connected to the host’s network adapter. By default, a virtual network called “External Network” should have been created during installation. If, on the other hand, you want to store virtual hard disks for your virtual machines on a remote storage device, that’s also possible. I’m guessing that you might have an external storage array that’s running RAID-5, and you’d rather have the VHDs stored on that remote server. If that is what you’re asking, you can accomplish this through the use of Windows file shares, iSCSI, or SAN technology. One final guess is that you want remote storage locations (such as a folder on a storage array) to be hosted
