Greetings,
I’m attempting to setup an oracle cluster (ASM) with shared disks on elinux 5.8. I modified the vmx file with the parameters below to supposedly allow disk sharing between the nodes:
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"
scsi1:1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1:1.mode = "independent-persistent"
scsi1:1.fileName = "
/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test1/test1_1.vmdk"
scsi1:1.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk"
scsi1:1.redo = ""
I can start either node separately, however if I start them both, the second fails because the first has the file locked.
From the log:
Apr 13 13:00:45.313: vmx| DISK: OPEN '/vmfs/volumes/4f709747-0ec9e0a0-219b-001e0bccdf5c/test2_1/test2.vmdk' Geo (1958/255/63) BIOS Geo (0/0/0)

Does anyone out there know how to setup disks in VM that can be shared by multiple nodes?
Thanks!
Clik here to view.
