[Ocfs2-users] ocfs2 on VMware workstation

[Saar Maoz]

A bit dated, but might help you:

http://files.oraclecorp.com/content/AllPublic/SharedFolders/Linux%20Program%20Office%20Training-Public/index.html#FAQ1.23

you might need to put some hidden settings in the vmx, I haven't dealt 
with WS6 so I can't tell you, but there should be a way to make it work.

Good luck,

Saar.
