Hello,
I am trying to build out some oracle virtual machines based on RHEL 6.x and can't seem to create shared vmdk's on a nfs datastore. I am trying to use a vmdk that is presented to 2 virtual machines and the idea is that is what would be used for the ASM disks. However, I can successfully attach it to the first virtual machine but get some locking errors when trying to attach it to the second vm. Is this something that is even possible with nfs datastores? Has anybody tried this setup? I even tried the local vmfs volume of the esx host for the shared vmdk but even that gave me the same locking error when attaching it to the second virtual machine. Do I need FT enabled? Am I missing something here?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
