Thank Dmitri, I'm getting a bit confused because the VM Working Directory Path pointing to the local SSD which the other server knows nothing about. I'm currently using the VMware Vcenter host profile will I need to change that and use the esxi local storage profile? Seems like I'm going to need two virtual hosts using the esxi local storage policy?
