Working on switching from NFS over ethernet to FC using Extents. We have 2 ESXI servers for HA and currently they share the NFS store, so if one server goes down the other will pull those VM's and start them back up. I'm new with FC and still working on getting setup but once we add the Extent on one ESXI its not viewable for the other.

Do i create another extent with the same path to the original extent? or is there another way to share iSCSI extents?

Since VMware's VMFS is clustered, both ESXI hosts can/should connect to the same extent. You don't need to do anything special for each of them. They'll manage shared data access by themselves.
