its better to create.. while creating cluster and you shared disk with both VMs ..if you have selected shared across physical hosts then its not mandatory i think.

suggest you to check these docs first..

Thanks for the answer.

One more thing I would like to know how can we map the physical cores vs vcpus in a vm?

If I have a 2 x 8 cores of physical cpus than what is the maximum number of vms can I create ?
