hi
current progress in the configuration
1) allocated shared LUNs to two ESXi servers
2) initially i have created 2 rhel6 VMs with typical settings in two different ESXi boxes and deployed OS into them
and installed SFRAC in both the VMs and configured for a cluster
3) now as i needed shared disks , i tried changing the scsi controller settings from shared none to shared virtual - paravirtual logic .
and iam unable to start the VM .
ERROR IS AS BELOW :
An error was received from the ESX host while powering on VM sortvmlin01_failed.
Cannot open the disk '/vmfs/volumes/50cf6491-a845d46a-0008-e0db550f7b66/sortvmlin01/sortvmlin01.vmdk' or one of the snapshot disks it depends on.
Thin/TBZ/Sparse disks cannot be opened in multiwriter mode.
VMware ESX cannot open the virtual disk "/vmfs/volumes/50cf6491-a845d46a-0008-e0db550f7b66/sortvmlin01/sortvmlin01.vmdk" for clustering. Verify that the virtual disk was created using the thick option.
4) i have also created a new VM but iam unable to deploy the OS into it .
