Two Hyper-V hosts - Two virtual machines - Shared storage - Same virtual hard disk file?

i'm scratching head on one.

have 2 hyper-v hosts.  each hyper-v host has 1 virtual machine.  we'll call them vm1 , vm2.

each hyper-v host points shared iscsi lun - e:\hyperv.

if @ settings vm1 virtual hard disk pointing e:\hyperv\vm1.vhd.  sounds ok but...
if @ settings vm2 virtual hard disk pointing e:\hyperv\vm1.vhd.  how can possible?

@ first thought maybe each vm using differencing disk vm1.vhd being parent.  if case settings should pointing respective differencing disks each vm, not parenting disk.  correct?

firstly, wrong assumptions , secondly, if nothing heck going on here?

thanks

i suspect because shared iscsi lun presented each host using same driver letter , path.

i suspect cannot have both of these vms running @ same time.  should cause problems @ both host , vm levels if allowed happen.

and yes, if there differencing disks involved should see differencing disk vhd not parent disk.

curious - version of hyper-v running?

it sounds if configuraiton duplicated between hosts, or if same vm imported more once.  or v1 option of exporting config done , imported second.

it interesting know how these machines created , if re-created 1 manually, happens.

you have not said yet if both running...or how might configured.
