High-Availability Configurations with VMware GSX Server

1. Open the virtual machine settings editor for the node 2 virtual machine (called
Cluster2). Choose
VM
>
Settings
.
2. Add the two virtual disks that are to be shared. Instead of creating new virtual
disks, use the existing virtual disks created for node 1 (called Cluster1).
3. Click
OK
to save your changes and close the virtual machine settings editor.
4. For the virtual machine named Cluster1, use a text editor to manually edit the
configuration file. This file is
D:\Netware6\Cluster1\Cluster1.vmx
on a Windows host or
/home/Netware/Cluster1/Cluster1.vmx
on a
Linux host.
5. For the virtual machine named Cluster2, use a text editor to manually edit the
configuration file. This file is
D:\Netware6\Cluster2\Cluster2.vmx
on a Windows host or
/home/Netware/Cluster2/Cluster2.vmx
on a
Linux host.
6. Add the following lines to each configuration file:
scsi0.sharedBus = “virtual”
disk.locking = “false”
Note:
The default virtual disk type is IDE for the base virtual machine’s virtual
Creating the First Node's Base Virtual Machine on page 219
. If you
are using SCSI virtual disks for the base virtual machine instead, the
configuration file options for the shared bus are:
scsi1.present = “true”
(If this line already exists, do not add it again.)
scsi1.sharedBus = “virtual”
disk.locking = “false”
These settings are necessary because your base virtual machine’s virtual disk is
attached to
scsi0
and you
must
have a separate virtual SCSI card for attaching
the shared disks. The settings enable SCSI reservation for
scsi1
, which is
described in more detail in
