<tt>Here is what I did.<br>
<br>
First step is to define a disk that will be shared on the guest1. It
will usually be on scsi1 (scsi0 is the guest install disk).<br>
<br>
Once the guest is configured, I changed the scsi1 definition in the
.vmx file to be like:<br>
<br>
<b>disk.locking = "FALSE"</b><br>
scsi1.present = "TRUE"<br>
<b>scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual"</b><br>
scsi1:0.present = "TRUE"<br>
scsi1:0.fileName = "<PATH TO YOUR VIRTUAL DISK>Shared-0.vmdk"<br>
scsi1:0.writeThrough = "TRUE"<br>
scsi1:0.mode = "independent-persistent"<br>
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"<br>
<br>
Note the disk.locking and scsi1.sharedBus parameters. I set them based
on VMWare doc (Server Admin Manual - Chapter 7 - Using
High-Availability Configurations)<br>
<br>
The settings above needs to be replicated to the second guest
configuration file (.vmx file of the guest2).<br>
<br>
This worked for me. Not even close to a good performance (single core
machine, 2.8GHz and 2GB RAM running about 70 xterm sessions on the
host, thunderbird, firefox, etc.), but I wasn't expecting it anyway.<br>

How does the second virtual machine see the disk? You do realize that
both systems need to see the 'physical' disk, and it's not just
exporting one to the other like NFS?<br>

<pre wrap="">Hi,
I am using OCFS2console to mount in both the virtual
machine. In the first system(where the actual physical
disk located), I am getting the disk in the console
and there is no issue to format and mount. In the
second system, I am not getting the disk in the
console(or fdisk -l), so there is no option to mount
the disk.
In my second system I am not getting the "HEARTBEAT"
too !!!
