Er, your question is not clear, but based on the question i saw, You want to have one shared disk for doing a cluster to be shared between other VMs.

So, In this case, you need to use "RDM" or "iSCSI", but make sure that your operating system is a cluster-aware. May refer to this KB and URL for more information. This is example of MSCS.

Hope it's able to help you.

Just my one cents!

bitou you mention sas connections, no san or nfs.

do you have a shared storage array?

if you do you may need to setup multi-initiator access to the luns.

if you are using local disk, the you need a solution like VSA vsphere storage appliance

or but a nfs or san
