I'm having problems setting up shared disk for clustering
My configuration is:
Host OS: CentOS 2.6.18-53.1.14.el5
vmware server 1.0.4 build-56528
When I add scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual" , the virtual machine won't start.
When scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual" is removed, only one VM starts. The second VM hangs after a little while and the whole system becomes very very slow and i have to power off and reboot.
Replacing scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual" with, for each disk, scsi1:0.shared = "true" has the same effect.
What am I missing?
Here is vmx config file for both VM
disk.locking = "FALSE"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMaxReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCacheMinReadAheadSize = "0"
diskLib.dataCachePageSize = "4096"
diskLib.maxUnsyncedWrites = "0"
scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"

scsi1.sharedbus = "virtual"
