What I did a few days ago was to create a vmware disk for each OCFS2 
filesystem, and store it with one of the VM nodes.  Then, add that disk to each 
additional VM.  When you add it, use a separate SCSI host number.  In other 
words, if the OS is on SCSI 0:0, make the disk SCSI 1:0, or some  arbitrary 
other HBA number.  Then you can go to each hosts second VM SCSI device and 
modify it to be shared, and of type Physical (if I remember correctly).  At 
that point, it works fine.

Subject: [Ocfs2-users] OCFS2 and VMware ESX
 
Hi,

We are haing some serious issues trying to configure an OCFS2 cluster on 3 SLES 
10 SP2 boxes running in VMware ESX 3.0.1. Before I go into any of the detailed 
errors we are experiencing I first wanted to ask everyone if they have 
successfully configured this solution? We would be interested to find out what 
needs to be set at the VMware level (RDM, VMFS, NICS etc) and what needs to be 
configured at the O/S level. We have a LUN on our SAN that we have presented to 
our VMware hosts that we are using for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
