Connect Mac Mini 2011 & MacBook Pro 2011 to Thunderbolt Display

Helo,

I've Mac Mini 2011, MacBook Pro 2011 and recently got Thunderbolt display. I connected Mac Mini to Thunderbolt display. I would like to connect MacBook Pro to second port located on Thunderbolt display.

Is it possible to connect both Mac's at the same time and by switching between either of these using shotcut commands? Any further help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

MacBook Pro 15, Mac OS X (10.7), 2G i7 2.30GHz 8GB RAM 256GB SSD

According to Apple Support, these options will work:

Mac Mini > Thunderbolt display
MacBook Pro > Thunderbolt display
For this option, I need to disconnect or turn-off MacMini first
Thunderbolt display > LaCie Thunderbolt External Hard Drive > MacBook Pro (daisy chain)
