Raw Device Maping Question (Microsoft Clustering Service)

$

Hi,

 

I have a couple of questions regarding the configuration of RDM Disks for Microsoft Clustering.

 

From what I've read, for VM's to share virtual disks across multiple hosts, an RDM disk has to be created on a new SCSI controller where Bus Sharing is set to 'Physical'. If sharing on a single host it should work without RDM disks. I haven't tested the latter but the former seems to work in my lab environment.

 

1. If I want to share 2 disks (eg. Quorum + Share), is there a difference between presenting 2 new LUNs to ESX vs presenting 1 larger LUN and then partitioning it in Windows?

2. When a disk is shared between VM's and I add a file to the disk in VM_A, it doesn't seem to show up on VM_B unless the disk is remounted. Is this expected behavior which Microsoft Clustering Service will deal with?

 

Thanks for any help.

 

 

 

Gregor
