Re: SGLX in VMware
In the link i mentioned Erick said he had done this in VMware Server, so rather than reinvent the wheel i'd hoped that he (or someone else) had documented what they'd done.

SolutionFor practical reasons, HP cannot support our products in a platform that is not offically supported by a vendor. Since VMware server is free, it is not officially supported by VMware. Therefore, if we had issues, we could not support our customers.
That said, I have used VMware server as a training vehicle. The "trick" is setting up additional LUNs as shared storage. The only process I have generated is one that has all virtual machines that are part of the cluster on the same servers and using files that represent shared storage. You can see why this is only for training (or some development).
Given this STRONG statement of non-support, and given the following is on the web (although difficult to find) here is the process. Read this 3 times before trying this.
First, make sure the virtual servers are powered off. Before adding any extra disks add the following lines to the servers ├в .vmx├в files. Watch for typos, especially on the last line since it is slightly different.
scsi1.present = "TRUE"
scsi1.virtualDev = "lsilogic"
scsi1.sharedBus = "virtual├в
disk.locking = "FALSE"
Note the ├в lsilogic├в assumes that scsi0 is also ├в lsilogic├в
Edit virtual machine Node1 (using the VMware GUI, not an editor)
Add
Hard disk
Create new virtual disk
SCSI
Size
When it asked for disk file I suggest the following:
Use a different directory than the servers. For instance, use the ├в .vmdk├в extension. For example: shares/share1.vmdk
Before selecting Finished ├в select Advanced (this is important)
Select a SCSI address with scsi1:x (recommend 1 for first package (LUN), etc).
Select ├в independent├в (persistent will be selected by default)
Select ├в Finished├в - A disk will now be created
Edit the ├в .vmx├в file for the first server and you will find ├в independent-persistent├в listed for the new disk. Make this be ├в persistent├в .
Each disk should have the following entries: scsi1:x.present = ├в true├в
scsi1:x.filename = ├в this will be the path├в
scsi1:x.mode = ├в persistent├в
scsi1:x.deviceType = ├в plainDisk├в
For the second machine do the same except select the ├в use an existing disk├в . Everything else is the same. Make sure you select the same SCSI identifier for the disk, e.g. 1:1
Some of this info is on the web. You now had a lot of keywords to google if you need.
Expect that you may have to reboot servers an extra couple of times if you have ANY problems related to disk access.

Re: SGLX in VMware
As for your non-support statement i understand. This is not for production or development purposes. i have been working on HPUX for over 10 years and until recently had a test (play) lab made up of a couple of D-Class servers (Cannibalised) using serviceguard 11.15.
However as all things come to an end one of my nodes died recently and i had to lay it to rest. so i'm looking for another play area and servicguard in linux via vmware server looked to be a reasonable lower cost approach.

I think the copy and paste had some side effects.
