with shared disk </DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=3>I have only one harddisk,with Windows XP, which
have one partition unformatted on it.</FONT><BR><FONT size=3>On Windows I
installed VMWare Server with 2 virtual machines, with SLES 10.
</FONT><BR><FONT size=3>On each virutal machine, I add a harddisk based on
logical drive, and when I have to specify the type of HDD, it's only IDE
type,as in attachement(not SCSI as I read in documentation).</FONT><BR><FONT
size=3>With ocfs2console I configure those logical drive(/dev/hda6) to be
shared by node1 and node2 on /u01(on both nodes, I have oracle rights on
it).</FONT><BR><BR><FONT size=3>On node1 and node2</FONT><FONT size=3>, at

inverse</SPAN><BR><BR>Can I use the logical disk on the same harddisk? where I
mistake or what I must complete to view the new directory made on node1
simultanously on node2?<BR>I received one answer like the reserve on
VmWare on Windows, <BR>Thanks for all and I'm waiting your answer!<BR>
