Both sides of the ESXi cluster on SRDF/Metro setup have shared storage visibility to their respective VMs. Set up the Microsoft failover cluster and the SQL Server failover as described in section Setting up Microsoft failover cluster with SRDF/Metro.
This process creates a fully operational SQL Server failover cluster that can leverage HA from the Microsoft failover cluster, VMware HA as well as fully Active/Active capability of SRDF Metro, and extended distance Smart DR.
