Hi
I am trying to share virtual disk on 2 virtual linux redhat 5 machines for oracle rac.
The configuration was done following the document in http://www.vmware.com/files/pdf/solutions/oracle/Oracle_Databases_VMware_RAC_Deployment_Guide.pdf
"Oracle Databases on VMware RAC Deployment Guide".
To enable sharing the disks I implemented the steps in:
http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1034165. The configuration is done when the virtual machines are down. Whe trying to startup, the first machine starts, but the second fails to start with the message: Reason: Failed to lock the file. Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/5098b711-71b71e42-3e99-1cc1de047f52/tstr1/tstr1_6.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on. Removing the disk from the second machine enables starting it. Please advise how to enable sharing of the disk between the 2 machines. Ronnie
